I can't see any oil leaking in those pictures. You probably do want to take the teflon tape off the fittings, they are designed to be used without it.

Get rid of all of your teflon tape, everything should seal up without it. Just imagine how bad it would be if a little bit of it clogged up your oil restrictor.

A little bit of teflon is fine, but that's overdoing it.

The only reason not to use it is to make sure no bits get into the oil supply. For stock hard lines it is not necessary but for those aftermarket ss lines with aluminum connecters it can help.

Anyways, the ops problem is not from using tape, he probably didn't install the oil in line properly or tightly enough.
