Hey guys, i was driving today and i looked up to see a drop of oil about to drip off of my overhead gauge mount, the plastic boost line is leaking at the crush sleeve at the brass fitting. Does anyone know where i could possibly get a new crush sleeve?

The second thing is i was wondering why there is so much oil coming out of my turbo? I popped the hood and the boost tube rubber sleeve right after the turbo is blowing oil everywhere, there is also a decent amount of oil in the boost line as i said. I was pulling a pretty good load up a really steep grade on an icy surface yeaterday, foot to the floor in first for about a minute, 1400 EGT and 38 boost. Don't know if this matters.

Thanks in advance

Lowes or Home Depot in the plumbing department. Don't know if you can get just the crush ring but you can buy a 1/8" compression fitting and rob the ring.

Lowes plumbing department has them packaged in multiples of three.
