Putting Teflon on it wont stop the leak as it is a flare connection. Your best bet is to remove the line from the block and turbo and inspect the flare on both the line and turbo for any damage/debris.

Get a new line if there is any abnormalities in the flare. I've never dealt with a damaged flare on the turbo so I cannot advise what to do there.
