got a new turbo and my oil feed hits the flange, i think the earl line melted or deformed because its leaking out of the top of the connector.
the only idea i had was to clock the turbo a little but i think itll only rotate the cold side of the turbo.
any suggestions/ ideas?

If the center cart is straigt up and down, i wouldnt clock it, if you clock it too much, the turbo wont drain correctly. I would get a 90deg bend to go into the turbo, and then an line off the 90. That should do you perfectly.
If you need a new line shoot me a p/m or Im and i'll fix you right up.

This line has the 90 built onto it, and a -3 adapter on the turbo. You need a new line too, if it is melted/junked.

just clock the turbo and be done with it. It's not like the oil going in dosen't have any psi behinde it and your not going to clock the center section too much to make it clear.
