Ted- You mentioned the turbo oil drain.
That surprises me.
Do you mean the one on the bottom of the turbo center section?
Have you had an RTV seal fail there?
Maybe because is hard to get to if the engine is in the car?

I got tired of having to remove the damn turbo just to get to the damn flange!
After using a paper gasket (RTV coated of course), it sealed up fine.
Others have claimed to have gotten it to seal with just RTV, but I have had bad luck trying to do that.
It's like a $2 gasket, so why skimp now?
