Default Oil leak on driver side APS TT

I was changing oil couple days ago, and I noticed minor leak on driver side APS TT. I think it's the oil return line. This is second time that line has caused problem. The line is bulged at the neck where it is tightend and there is small leak around it. Is there any replacement part or should I change to steel line? My tuner had some left over parts from silvia and it fitted perfect when I fixed it first time.
If anyone know inner diameter and length it would be great. It's my daily car so I really don't want to pull the line out and wait for new line to come.

Mine were swollen at the bases on both sides. The problem is that the hoses are fitted with specific bends. I am considering replacing mine with custom made braided hoses and metal fittings.

Keep tightening them down as much as possible.

I'm sorry to say, but aps no longer backs their kit. Which means you have to have custom oil lines made up. I tried to get some parts from them and they told me they don't support the 350z platform any more.

It should be in the directions, but I will see if I can check it out today, my kit is in pieces on the garage floor.

Cass007, I have checked installation manual and parts on APS website, but no luck. It will great if you can check out the inner diameter.

Sorry Doc, I forgot to get the info. I just sent a text to the tuner who has the kit in his shop. As soon as he gets back to me I will post up. I will most likely swap to AN fittings and braided lines if I keep the kit.

Orthodoc I will try to get pictures with a measuring tape tomorrow since I'm currently moving the turbo kit from one motor to another.

Didn't mean to make you wait so long but I finally got a measuring tape and camera at the same time and was able to take pictures of what you requested
