Turbo oil line

It appears that my oil line that connects to the top of my turbo is wigglimg and dripping oil, is this a recall item due to the possible blockage and failures of that line and if not where can i get a new one? I dont know the exact name of the piece but ive looked for it and cant find much. Ant help would be nice .

I just had my oil lines to the turbo replaced by the stealership about a month ago....awful experience and ended up costing my ~$1,100. It's a process having the remove the whole turbo manifold....all for oil lines that cost about $50 each. It's definitely something you want to get looked at though because oil + VERY hot turbo = bad things.

I'm not sure if same problem but it sounds similar. I think I might have to go out and check my oil line, this seems to be a common problem.

ya ill probably just do it myself. That link was helpful to the extent of removing it. It really is a common problem which is a shame but i think ill just get an aftermarket one, they seem to be built better.
