I need the specs for the large banjo bolt going into the pan. Can't seem to get it to stop leaking. Thanks.

Do you have the metal ring on it? The hollow core bolt to the oil pan is 55 ft lbs. It is a pain to keep the return line straight when tightening that bolt. I needed a extra set of hands to keep it straight.

Default 36 ft/lbs.

if you are talking about the oil drain plug in the 951, the correct torque is 36 ft/lbs. (from the 951 workshop manuual) Don't strip it.... and make sure the seating surface looks clean and flat with no scoring or damage and use a new washer and it should seal up.
If it is the return line from the turbo unit, it is as Brian said 55 ft/lbs. again make sure you have the right size washer and that the surfaces on both are flat and show no signs of damage.

Ive got 2 extra sealing rings (used) if you want to mess with it this weekend, I had mine off last week and reused them - luckily no leaks.
