Oil Drain Line...Driving Me Nuts 700 1989

I just finished puling the turbo out and exhaust manifold to replace the gaskets. Everything seems to be great except I can't get the oil drain line to stop leaking where it returns to the engine. I replaced the O ring and did everything I could to line it up right before I reassembled everything. But, it leaks none the less. Now with the turbo back in place, I realise it is going to be hell to unbolt the drain line from the bottom of the turbo (with long skinny arms and a 4' long allen key) and try again. Is there any type of sealer or caulking I can add to that connection to help seal it?

Thanks,

Jonas.
