My turbo oil outlet pipe is leaking. Can this be replaced without removing the turbo? If so how! Anyhelp is great. I have all winter to do it so yeah needs to get done soon! All I know is it is on the bottom of the turbo and it looks like it would be near impossible to fix without removing.

Yes it can be removed with turbo in place

short 12mm with wobble type extension one 12mm on feed line is a bitch but yep you can get to it

Putting back in is a POS with the two studs in the block take them out use bolts

17mm feed line gets bolted up FIRST (not tight just start the thread)

you sure the nuts are just not loose? that was my problem....

Word to that. Its extremely difficult to do later.

Honestly not sure. The Turbo was recently replaced so it would to me at least make sense that it would be loose, but who knows. The leak was not nearly bad enough for me to fix it before winter. Figured I'd wait till storage so that way I can take my time with it, but good suggestion thanks!

i'm guessing gasket and/or loose nuts....and yea, you can get to it w/o removing the turbo, its just a HUGE pain.
