Thread: Turbo Feed Line is leaking :(

So I triple checked my GFD Oil feed line to be sure it was tight, but I cranked up the NX for the first time today and it's leaking

Any suggestions how to get up there and tighten fittings? Between the passenger side axle and my 4 point white line brace, I know its going to be near impossible...

It's leaking where the line goes into the block, not at the turbo...

Remember, it's BSPT into the block, not NPT.. you got this part right, right?

yeah I have the proper adapter.

did you use teflon tape? when i have to get something done down there, i normally call my friend with super skinny arms and he can reach in from above. might be different for you though because i have an O2 induction manifold so i think there is a little more room back there. but wouldn't hurt to give it a shot.

X2 with teflon tape.

yeah used teflon tape, which didn't help w/ my oil pressure sensor. I had to run a separate ground wire to the base of the sensor.

i use teflon paste when i need too, have had less leaks with it vs tape. can you get a wrench in there? sometimes i will grab a cheap wrench and cut it, weld it, bend etc. just for tightening fittings in hard to reach areas.

Just try tightening it a little more. I had one that I thought was tight enough and it leaked, got under there and less than 1/4 of a turn later, it stopped leaking.

Did you have anything other than the stock oil pressure switch on the block? If you had an autometer gauge and didn't use the right adapter, you messed up the threads, and the bspt fitting will probably leak.
