93 240sx with a sr20 blacktop swap. turbo is a garrett gt2860rs and is dripping oil somewhere. pulled off the lower oil return line going from the bottom of the turbo back to the block and saw this /

shouldent there be more of a gasket than this?

I cant track down whats causing the oil drip so i am going to replace the factory bent metal oil feed/return lines with braided stainless steel hoses.

could anyone tell me what size hoses i need and what the correct sizes/trims are for the gasket i need to order?

yes you need a lot more gasket there. your oil leak can be coming from the block, or the turbo.
If its from the block, there is a banjo bolt with a copper washer that should be replaced. That line goes in to the turbo from the top and has a restrict-or on it to reduce the amount of oil going in to this turbo. The other spot is right where your picture is showing gasket pieces.
you can just order all from frsport.com
