Oil Leak from brass supplied 1/8" inlet.
At idle and lower oil pressures there's no leak, however at higher pressure when at higher RPMS i'm getting oil leaking out of the top of the turbo. I can still turn the fitting, but it's by no means finger loose.
I just have a habbit of overtorqueing things and ruining threads. My question is there an actual torque spec on that fitting or what should I do.

Are you referring to the oil filter fitting that comes on the turbo or on the fitting you attached your line to? Do you have a picture?

This isn't mine, but it's leaking from the base of the brass fitting on the oil inlet. I have a 1/8" to -4 adapter then a -4 line. Its leaking out of the base though not the adapter.

It might just need to be re-tightened. I'll see if I can get you the torque spec.
