So i have an aps tt kit and i have a leak coming from the oil feel line on top of the driver side turbo due to it being lose. the problem is that everything is so damn tight and nothing is visible so its all by sense of touch . i managed to get my fone in there to take a pic so you can see how tight it is.



a wrench is to thick to fit in there because of that nut to the right. Does anyone have any suggestions as to how to tighten this thing without pulling the freaking motor out pleaseee !! anyone know of what might fit in there and what size that thing is anyway ?would really love ur help!

 

ya you'll need to pull that feed line, wrap in teflon tape and reinstall.

gonna have to get creative with a open ended wrench and a grinder.

 

it might be an inverted flare fitting... looks like a straight thread to me (no thread sealant on those), so i would go with loose fitting or damaged flare seat

probably have to pull the motor to get at that one. those 4 bolt flanges are a hassle! thats one thing I like about the Greddy turbos... you can get the 3 bolts on-off with the motor in the car.

 

so i was able to tighten it a little more using this . had to cut a flared wrench and shave one of the sides to get it to fit in there. my fone was also a big help. i used the camera as my eyes



after words i had the car run and took a video with my fone to see if it was still leaking ....well turns out it wasnt leaking because of it being loose



if u look closely there is a black ring of oil coming from the top of that ... in the video the oil is leaking out of there which leads me to believe that i wasted my time and the flare is damaged ...the line needs to be replaced ... im just going to have to deal with it for now . its not a bad leak but its still a leak

 

Clean it up and get some quicksteel or high temp epoxy and try to get around the top until you can replace the line

 

hard to think that the flare is messed up. no real way to damage it unless it was done off the car. if its not tight, thats where they leak from

 

really? i wonder ...i stopped trying to tighten it because it just started to round out ....i hope that is the case then i just dont no how to tighten it any further without it striping

and thanks for the input guys !
