No warranty... grunt... (long story)

Here's some additional oddness... this car has a Garrett T25 instead of the Mitsubishi TD04. The oil outlet pipe seems to be a bit of a bodge-together bit of kit. The flange that mounts to the outside of the turbo has a fitting on it. This fitting simply slips inside the oil outlet tube. There's no other means of securing it. This doesn't seem right at all. It seems that there should be more there than just a friction fit between the oil outlet flange and the outlet tube. Any thoughts?
Also, I'd like to check to make sure that the oil inlet tube isn't blocked given that this thing has eaten a turbo in just 1500 miles. It looks like the banjo fitting is almost impossible to get to. Any tips or tricks?
Any other general suggestions?
Thanks!
