IDI factory turbo, oil feed line

[outtowinpahc]

Looking for some information. My oil feed is leaking very slightly, but I want to fix it. I am trying to source a new oem line but I cant seem to find one. I was wondering what people are using to feed these stock units? Its dark so I cannot see where the oil feed is coming from but the leak seems to be at the lower part off the block or head

Id like to retain the factory tee fitting / supply block but repalce the mid section with two fittings and a braided line. Any specs on the fittings, -3 or -4 preferred? Restriction on -4?

DO NOT USE TEFLON TAPE....ONLY A LIQUID THREAD LUBRICANT/SEALER....TEFLON TAPE IS NOT FOR THIS APPLICATION!!!!!!

I used -4 lines if I remember correctly. It's all 1/8 or 1/4 npt. I think 1/8 up top and 1/4 on the bottom.

That oil line uses "olives" for gaskets. A good diesel shop should have them if you want to fix the factory stuff.

pm Russ aka Typ4.
you get a nice steel braided line,& AN fittings.
i bought one for every turbo IDI after i saw the first one.

I got a few of 1/4 npt and 1/8 npt tp -4... they are cheap 3 bucks each and I have a need for spares.
