Gasket gooping

I'll add to this, but it's with teflon tape.  My HKS mech. oil pressure gauge
has a fitting that screws into the oil pressure sender location.  This fitting
is a tee with one part going to the gauge and the other hole, I used for the
turbo oil line.

Well, was having oil leak from the oil line into the tee hole.  Tried cranking
down the fitting, no good.  Added some teflon tape, no good.  Finally, got
pissed off and wrapped a lot of teflon tape around the oil line fitting into
the tee.  No more oil leak!  Also, no more oil flow, d'oh!  That would quickly
lead to fried turbo #1.

Lesson learned, only takes about 1.5-2 wraps of tape.  And there's this
yellowish teflon tape which is designed for petroluem products and some high
temps(can't remember how high).
