Oil Return pipe bolts

Hi,

I just fin a ix turbo install into a vii.

after the first start, i idled the car for about 20 mins, then stopped it and checked for leaks.

There was a little bit of oil seeping from the oil return pipe bolt (turbo end)

I thought i'd turn the bolt 1/4 turn to stop this but then the bolt snapped!

I've put in some high temp silicone gasket sealer stuff into the hole and its stoping the oil seeping at the moment but will 1 bolt be enough to hold the pipe?

I dont really want to take the turbo off again...it was just a pain in the **** job...

since the return pipe is just oil flow...not pressurised, it should be fine right? its quite secure etc..

thoughts and comments on what to do now?

i'll be running stock boost, stock engine etc...

thanks
