HA Turbo Oil Inlet Leaks

[CzyKats44]

Background:
My winter garage project was a top end reseal kit (from head gaskets up). Clean, tear down to the block, clean, inspect, clean, paint, clean, reassemble... you get the idea. It's back together and 100%. Runs like a champ.

... But the oil feed line for the turbo leaks at the union going into the 90*. I've taken it apart cleaned and re-teflon pasted it a few times to end up with the same leak each time. I'm thinking its cracked.

I would like to start fresh with a new line to the filter adapter... potentially add a filter in line and tuck it away.

What's the thread size and type on the stock TB0330? Any recommendations on a new line?

Thanks!!

this is what I would do. Get the hot air turbo feed line from Gbody parts as it comes with the new fitting into the turbo, it has an AN fitting steel braided line and I have absolutely no issues at all now....plus looks better

Update** I took Mr Goodmarks advice and went with the flex line kit. Super easy install and zero leakage. AN fittings are a much better design.

For anyone interested, I only removed only the oil filter (not the whole oil pump cover, thanks for the heads up Jerryl and earlbrown!) to access the lower fitting.
