Sometimes the best recommended routing is just NOT going to make it and then you do the best that you can.

Horizontal oil flow is bad because the bubbles and foam can air lock the hose so the turbo does not drain properly then the turbo causes smoke out of the exhaust. Not good for the turbo either.

One thing might work, if you can drill two holes in the cross-member large enough for a 5/8" tube to go thru then you can patch in the line on either side of the tube. Some pics would really help here.
