A quick question.... I have a Audi s3 02 bam 225 my turbo oil in feed keeps leaking oil at the turbo side, I have changed the washers 3 times now every time with washers from Audi and can't stop it leaking?? I'm baffled, am I over tightening the banjo bolt?? Is there a certain torque that it is meant to be.... also it has done it on 2 of my turbos now so I know it's not the turbo!! Any help would be appreciated

Maybe there is a spilt in the pipe itself? I've swapped turbos plenty of times and sometimes reused the washers, at no time have I ever had a leak there
 
what about the bolt its self as one of the copper washers will seal against that, if there's a groove on the sealing face of the bolt there will be a leak path?
 
Iv put a new pipe on it so it can't be that.... just ordered new banjo bolt from Audi and new washers I will let you know tomorrow if it works!! Cheers
