Default Td04 turbo oil drain

I replaced my td04 with a hybrid td04 and just wanted to know if the oil drain pipes on different model year's were different lengths?

My car is my03 wrx. It has a slight oil leak because the turbo oil drain is only just sitting in the hose. Can anybody tell me where to buy one from/ or sell me one to modify. It only needs another 1/2 inch of extra length. I can get it made at work to suit. Thanks in advance.

Move the existing hose up by 1/2" (on the engine side of the drain) and secure with a jubilee clip.
When you place the turbo hard drain pipe into the hose it won't move down.
Too long a hose will just result in it folding over and stopping the oil from getting away, resulting in a blown oil seal.

Thanks for both reponses. I'm going for the move existing oil hose up by 1/2" method and secure it with a jubilee clip so it doesn't move.
