welp guys, we are finishing up our turbo replacement on my 87 T2 and we broke a sumbitchin bolt off. normally this isnt a huge deal... but this bolt we broke off is one of the two that bolts the main coolant line for the turbo onto the block... just broke the head right off the shaft of the bolt.
so there is obviously not enough pressure to hold the coolant in and it drips if we start the car. what can i do about this?! really need some help here guys, have to drive off to school this weekend.

you can either rig it, with jbweld or some **** like that. i dont recommend doing that though
or you can get an EZ Out or some other sort of broken bolt removing tool to get it out
good luck, go to sears or some places like that and they should have something that can help

I haven't had much luck with e-outs so be prepared to drill and re-tap. It's really not that big of a deal. Just make sure that you use a centerpunch prior to drilling so you don'r run off center.
Good Luck
