Thom,
A couple of suggestions ...
1. A Titanium-sheet heat shield between the exhaust system pipes and the new oil supply line ... the closesr to the exhaust the better!
2. A Teflon-stainless braided hose would seem more suitable for that particular supply hose in close proximity to the exhaust ... Aeroquip makes hose and steel fittings in the AN-16 size. They also make a gentle-radius steel 90° bend with male fitting on one end and female swivel fitting on the other ... that would seem perfect to get past the area that caused your big leak with the previous hose.
