Which fitting do you mean in particular? The way mine is structured:

BSP-NPT coupler ->
Distribution block ->
Pressure Sensor
AN3 to turbo
AN3 to turbo
plug

Hope that makes sense... I actually think its leaking at the pressure sensor but will need to set up a test to figure that out.

Impossible for me to say cuz I don't have a gamma kit.

I'm talking about AN swivel fittings. If you're leaking from a fitting listed above, use more teflon tape.

Gotcha... I got two swivel fittings for the oil lines themselves in that spot... but I did not put thread sealant or teflon tape on those connections - thought you were not supposed to use it on those types of connections since the tape could keep the machined surfaces from mating?

I might try it anyway if it fixed similar problems for you! =)

edit: I just reread and realized you were not recommending teflon tape for those fittings... just that they could be the culprit and to make sure there is no tension on them. I will make sure to test them as well. Thanks for the help, as always!
