BNR S3 return line leak

[tokoam]

shortly after maybe a few weeks later my car started to smell of burning oil and exhaust gases after shutting off the car and exiting the vehicle. So putting it on the lift I saw the issue the return line started to leak.So I used silicon gasket sealer along with a new gasket and that was the end of the leak this is just a post to keep those informed of this happening as I am still using the turbo brace I guess it happened with the rocking of the motor ? I dunno But it was properly torqued and did not leak after install this started to happen over time .

Mine leaked a little after my turbo went in. I just bought a new gasket for like $3 and it fixed it. The stock one really sucked.

Always replace these crush metal gaskets when they are disturbed/removed. This goes for intake, exhaust, etc.
