Ah, yeah if it's PTFE lined it will leak, not a lot because it's only low pressure. Who did it for you? Pirtek.

The way I would do it is, have a tapered adaptor screwed into the block, with a parellel BSP male on the other side, screw a female swivel fitting swaged onto the hose, then the fitting on your turbo needs to be swaged on. Has the end of the fitting got the barbs like the banjo hi pressure fitting?

Have you got a set of vernier calipers? If you measure the threads I'll tell you what you need, and measure the tail that comes off the flange, and let me know if it's got the ridges on it.
