Default Turbo oil feed pipe NIGHTMARE (had to abandon car 17 miles away) !!

hi all

many of you may remember the nightmare with the turbo oil feed pipe BOLT as the space was incredibly tight hence took me 10 days approx to do, had to cut slots in bolt in the end and tap it tight.

Today I was coming home from Warrington (not far from IKEA) and just as I approached Burger King the low oil light flashed on, I immediately turned in and stopped the car, I discovered the oil was leaking form turbo oil pipe , again !!

Not actually the bolt this time were it was leaking last time, but from where the jubilee clips which connect the reinforced hose to the bit of remaining metal turbo pipe. very easy to access as it is on top of engine, but no matter how hard I tighten it it is still leaking all of a sudden but has nbot leaked before despite me using too clips !

I tried for 4 - 5 hours to tighten it before giving up and ringing my brother who brought me home, so now the car is Parked about 17 miles away in Warrington in an area I am unfamiliar with. I hope to go back tomorrow and try at it again, may have to get the bus up there.

any ideas on what I can do to stop the leak to get me home, or just try try with more clips ? ?
I want to get the car back home, buy the proper pipe and have it fitted properly.
