Earlier today around noon, I changed the oil, oil filter, and fixed that annoying oil leak coming from the oil return tube gasket. I used all new OEM parts.

Just in case people wanted to know any part numbers.
Oil return tube gasket MR258477 (You will need 1)
Turbo oil return tube crush washer MF660031 (You will need 2)
Bolt, return tube to oil pan MF101229 (You will need 2)
You torque them to 6-7 ft/lbs or 72-84 in/lbs

I didn't do anything "fancy" like doubling up on the gaskets, or use copper spray on the gasket, or sealant on the threads or anything. Personally I don't want to do any of that stuff but I know that is what some people do to stop this leak. All I did was replace the old parts with the new parts and as of now there has been no leaks or drips but I will continue checking for the next few days.
