The "napkin" pic in post:

uncovered a leaking reducer 5/8 from turbo down to a 7/16? banjo bolt to block.
This post:

says never reduce the line. It could create back pressure on the turbo and damage.
So, do I need to put a fitting in the drain pan? It is not a very deep pan and may have come off a 1.6. If I need to add a fitting, can I reuse the brand new oil I just put in?
Thanks
