Oil feed line leak recommendations

After a short drive yesterday I parked and saw a bit of smoke coming from under the hood. I found a small amount of oil had leaked out the feed line. It looks to be coming from under the fitting and not the actual AN line. My question is - should I put thread seal on this? And what's the correct torque spec? I'm having trouble finding definitive answers to either question. This is my first FD and I'd like to not burn it down if I can help it.

Been a long road with lots of stress, but it's finally on the road

I bought the car 4 years ago with low compression and a bad paint job. IRP had my motor for nearly two years and I was lucky to even get it back before they closed down. One paint shop had it for 9 months and didn't touch it, but luckily I found another one local that has been amazing.

​

Makes 370hp on the dyno. Tune finished up by Tailored Chassis Solutions in Mass. Aggressive street port, haltech ECU, borgwarner s300sx single turbo at 12.5 psi, dual external wastegates, hks hi-power exhaust, exedy twin disk clutch, banzai racing pullies, and a ton of other stuff. Painted Porsche Rubystone Red.

​

I want a better exhaust, prob add a mid-pipe, and a clutch that is a bit more street-able. Other than that, I'm pretty happy with it. First RX7. First rotary car. Going to enjoy it this summer.
