Is this the hard line on the top of the turbo? If so that's actually the supply, and that's a fairly common issue whenever the turbo gets pulled/reinstalled. I think it tends to have more to do with the strain on the line where it meets the flange, but regardless a flex line ought to work better. I had mine go out during a track day, started a small engine fire. Sucked.

I recommend making a flex line with a new flange. I bookmarked this flange a while back (so hopefully it'll fit), eventually I'm going to make mine a little more professionally, right now the flange is a hand tapped piece of steel. I also used and would recommend anodized fittings and a braided steel line.

HOWEVER, if you're really talking about the lower oil line (the larger of the two) then I imagine you could do about the same thing with stainless flex line... or find another one. The return line shouldn't see much pressure, idk how much but I think it's basically a gravity feed back into the front of the block.
