Those two bronze fittings are compression fittings. YOU CANNOT remove them without replacing them. You need new ones. Don't drive the car too much you'll risk blowing the turbo (mine were on wrong from the factory and blew mine, I would know). You can get them from the dealer really cheap.

Just go ask for the banjo fittings on the oil feed line to the turbo.

Never ever ever ever remove compression fittings. Once uncompressed, they leak.

Did you use thread tape or pipe dope before reattaching the oil line?

If I remember correctly it says that you may need to either disconnect that oil line to gain access to that bolt or gently pry the oil line away to allow bolt access. Before reattaching the oil line you need to put something on it's threads to keep it from leaking and I believe it's addressed in the instructions for the Mopar BOV.

Did you get those two little copper washer guys too? You need those more than the bolt. Let us know how you make out.
