Default Type of gasket for turbo oil return line

I've got a weeping gasket-and replacements seem to be expensive for a tiny gasket.
I know I can buy sheets of gasket material for a few quid off eBay, and I've looked at many listings but I don't know the exact material I should use, or the thickness.
So the question is does anyone know the spec of gasket material and thickness please?
Also, the torque setting seems to be 25nm. This sounds pretty high for two small Allen key bolts, and I got scared as i started to tighten mine so didn't get close to that. The RR engine spec shows th torque needed as 10nm, and the bolts appear the same!!

So another question is can someone please confirm I'm getting this right and I should tighten to 25 or 10Nm?

The oil hose is number 12 on 7zap...and the bolts are 13
Thank you!
