teflon should def. work. Look into the locktite verson of the leflon. It will not only seal, but will keep the line from coming loose again. good luck

seriously?

maybe teflon tape and duct tape is how it works in the Honda world with civic "hatchys" but here in the nissan world, one of the few things to withstand turbo heat is ceramic coating...

try again......


OP, remove turbo/mani, inspect all lines, fitting and seals.... worst comes to worst, clean everything all up real good, put it all back together, then go for a drive, find new wet spot and then isolate the problem...

Teflon tape will melt. It's a temporary fix.

Melting point of teflon is 342C, that will last until your car warms up and you start cruising, lol.
