Oil Feed Line ??

I am getting a slight oil leak on the outermost metal fitting on the feed line after the T...It goes 1. fitting into engine ===> T fitting ====> fitting towards rear ====> (leaking slightly) then the female fitting with the 120 dgree bend ===> then the ss line

I was wondering should I have used teflon tape on this fitting (female 120, to the fitting on the T) ?? I used it on every other connection except this one

Do I need a new 120 degree fitting ?

Is it an npt fitting?? All the npt fittings need to be wrapped with plenty of teflon tape.

Don't use Teflon tape on any oil line fitting. It is possible for small bits of tape to break off and enter the engine and block a critical passageway.

Use Teflon paste instead.
