Oil return line

The oil return that runs from the turbo outlet back down to the oil pan had developed a small leak resulting in an occasional drop of oil hitting the exhaust with lots of smoke and smell as a result. The notion of an engine fire is scary stuff so it had to be addressed quickly.

The old hose, taken apart

As I examined the hose I concluded that the O-ring in the upper AN fitting may have taken a beating given how close it sits to the exhaust. I took the hose over to my buddies Brandon and Ryan at BSP Motorsports who agreed. They fabricated a new hose with O-rings rated for the extreme temps. We also added a high temp sleeve to ensure this is addressed once and for all. Here is the result after I installed it:
