Lightbulb 617 turbo oil drain -- tube sizes?

Hello all -- I am wondering if anyone could tell me the O.D. sizes of the turbo drain pipes.

I replaced the o-rings, gaskets, grommet etc. recently, but it has developed a good leak at the joint between the 2 tubes. It looks like the o-ring got pinched, so there's no way short of taking it all apart again to fix it. I'll be damned if I am going to pull the turbo and oil pan again...

Anyway, I think I am going to saw the ends off of both tubes and replace with some rubber hose to fix the leak. Anyone done this? Seems like I can do this while everything is together, but I am going to try and find some decent oil-resistant hose first in the proper size.

Bear in mind that this is a rusty, 23-year-old car, so quick and easy repairs are the order of the day. I don't cut corners on my other project car, but this one is just a daily driver.

Thanks.
