RE: bearing lubrication oil piping leakage

Flexible hose will vibrate too. Probably more.

"oil piping leaks oil from connections " is very vague. what leaks and why? Any photos or drawings?

If it's from the joint then secure the joint, if the pipe is vibrating, tie it down,

Is the pipe failing?

Can you stop / reduce the vibrations - If they are that bad then I suspect something is wrong with your turbine or gearbox.

You're looking at the symptom, not the cause.

Remember - More details = better answers
Also: If you get a response it's polite to respond to it.

the pipe is too rigid, the length is 2m and the vibration pf gearbox in long time cause misalignment of flanges and 'leaks occur so we decide to replace it with flexible hose to compensate the vibration
the vibration of gearbox and turbine is in normal range
