You say it's leaking from the oil line feed from the block to the turbo. There are 2 Crush Washers that are used to attach the line to the block with a banjo bolt. Did you reuse those crush washers? If so, that is your mistake. Never reuse them as they are usually meant for 1 time use only! Get some NEW crush washers and throw away the used ones.

thanks for your help but it was not the flange line with the banjo bolt and the crush washers, it was the other line feed, but it turns out that i made a mistake trusting my air ratchet and did not tightened all the way, i pursued further and got under the car and with a wrecnh i retightened both bolts and the leak just stopped so no more oil leaqk from turbo.
thank you all for your help .
i still got other concerns with the car.....i will post needed help later
again thanxzzzz
