Making a good seal..?

I was wondering if anyone had any advice on how to better seal the oil distribution block where the stock turbo oil feed line and pressure switch go...

I have a turbo saver..so the stock turbo feed hole is plugged, and I have a aftermarket oil pressure sender in the other spot for the stock pressure switch...

Problem is, I can't tighten the block all the way into the engine without the oil pressure sender making substancial indentation into the lower radiator hose...

so..as result, I have a bit of a leak there...

I know one option...is to run braided stainess from the port in the block to a distribution block mounted on the passenger inner-fender.. I'm pretty sure both Jack Cotton and Joey Perrota run it this way...

Any ideas?

- Would teflon tape or liquid really be applicable if the end of the fitting isn't fully seating in the port on the block?
