I have a turbo oil feed line leak at the nut. The leak is located at the brass block oil pressure sensor connection on the passengers side engine block. Any tips on fixing this leak? It’s difficult to put a wrench or flare nut wrench on it but I’ve managed to do it. I’ve tightened it a little bit, but it still leaks. Any tips on how to move forward is appreciated. Thanks.

If you can get it off you should check both the block brass fitting and the feed line for debris or a tiny crack.
Other than that loosen it and rotate it slightly which might clear the debris or allow the flare to re-seat better.

Looks like an NPTto flared pipe adapter into an aftermarket block fitting to me.
If it's leaking from the NPT pipe fittings teflon tape or teflon pipe goop might help.
If you are sure it's the flared pipe fitting thats leaking the other fixes I mentioned may work.
Looks clean compared to my car though.
The 3 wire oil pressure switch itself can leak oil as well when going bad, usually the dash oil light flickers on and off too when it starts to go.
