Oil Line fix

Option 1- Pull intake manifold and re-run the line.
Option 2- Remove the line by cutting it up and run a new steel braided line. This can be done w/o removal of the intake manifold.
Option 3- If the line is leaking at the crimp right before the turbo, I've seen folks cut the crimp off and replace the rubber line using large t-bolt clamps.

Luckily for me, mine stopped dripping after being driven regularly.

Someone already did option 3 and now that leaks.
I am looking at option 2
Any ideas who or where I can get a braided line with the banjo fitting?

Thanks
