Your doubts are correct, sir, there is no hardline leak in this case, perhaps my wording and title could have been more descriptive? I am referring to the OEM softlines that connect from the turbo oil return hardlines to the oil return outlet on the oil pan of the 1JZ. Please see the schematic below to illustrate the parts I'm referring to.

thats what i'd call a hose. In my head softlines are AN-style, Hoses are hoses, and hardlines are...ye...hardlines 
You can use what ever std hose, just make sure it's oil resistant, correct size, and can deal with some really hot oil (~150C).
A hydraulic hose shop can usually provide you with nice quality hoses. Hydraulic systems generate alot of heat, so most of them are heat resistant.
Std hoses for cooling and fuel-systems does not meet the requirements to last vety long. most of them dont handle heat above 120C, and very few handles engine oil.
GL!

used this on my stock aristo twins. its for a diesel oil drain but works perfect, plus its oil resistant. bought only 1ft and it was good enough, but you have to cut it just right to have enough for both sides. have pics if you want just let me know.
