Sealing the turbo oil return tube

Hey all,

I battled with replacing the gaskets and grommet on the turbo oil return tube last year. I goobered the upper gasket and had my indy re-do it. Now I've noticed that the grommet at the bottom of the tube is leaking pretty moderately. The grommet must not have seated properly.

Not wanting to undo the now oil-tight gasket at the turbo side, and not wanting to drop the pan to mess with removing/replacing the grommet... What can I use to just seal it up at the exterior on the grommet? The car isn't going anywhere anytime soon as far as selling it so I don't care if it's the cheap method, at long as it keeps the oil off of my new suspension rubber.

RTV? Gasket maker? Any suggestions?

The last leak I know of is under the IP. I've just had it rebuilt though, so I'll try to let that vendor fix that one. I'm stoked to have a leak free 617 that doesn't try to leave signatures on the driveways everywhere we go.
