Default Leaky Vortech V2

I'm looking to replace my leaky return line that had hose clamps with a stainless line and AN fittings, but I'm not sure what fittings I need. Does anybody make a stainless return line, or am I going to have to make my own? Any idea what size fittings I will need?

UPDATE: Scroll down for a picture. Looks like it isn't leaking from the return line...

Where does your return line terminate, currently?

Oh okay. You'll need a 90 degree swivel fitting (-10AN), a straight swivel fitting (also -10AN), 1-ft of stainless, braided line (possibly more, depending on were on the oil pan you have your return fitting ie. front/side), and a double male adapter fitting (-10AN to whatever your stock Vortech drain accepts)

Of course I took it apart to find that it isn't the return line that is leaking oil.

I'm not sure, exactly. I'm pretty sure it isn't either of the oil lines. The oil is all over the back of the supercharger, but the feed and return lines are dry. I'm thinking it's leaking from the shaft, behind the pulley. Blown seal? I have a picture, but I'm on my phone so I can't post it. I will when I get to a computer.

Here's what it looks like. Judging by the amount of oil above the oil lines, I'm pretty sure it isn't from there. To me it looks like the input seal.

That's not just belt dust?

Some of it is belt dust, but around the threaded holes there is oil.
