Oil Leak need help!

Hey Guys, I am on the road and I am in SLC right now. I have to drive back up to Idaho tomorrow and my oil line, original dodge part, to my top turbo is leaking. It is almost like I cannot get a tight enough clamp on it. It leaks out of the top of the nut where the line comes through the nut. Any suggestions, would using a washer right there work to get me back home. Would a regular washer work or wouldit have to be a crush washer? Maybe an O-ring, does anybody have any suggestions or know whereI can pick up a new oil line on a Saturday evening?

Thanks For The Help.

Try an o-ring. Stop by a parts store and find the right size.

I know what line you are talkin' about...but I don't have my truck handy to go take a look...

What normally seals it?

A clamp, or is it a flare fitting?

Ok, I went to home Depot and foundsome o-rings that work. Just got it all together and it is just like new. Or I should say better than new, cause I had no oring in it!

Thanks for the help guys.
