What is the easiest way to get to the rear turbo oil return line? I looked under the car, and it's pretty tight down there. I assume the DP would have to come off, and then it's just a matter of being finicky.

Anyways, my return line has a leak and is dripping onto the cat. NOT GOOD. The car smells like **** and is pluming smoke from under the car.

Don't worry the car is parked until this gets remedied.

 

I would recommend just pulling the turbos and refreshing the gaskets on both return lines.

 

I haven't pulled turbos on this car before (have on another, but it was a single).


I assume it's do-able with the engine in the car? It would be a good time to check play too I guess.


Fak.. I knew what I was getting myself into by buying and FD, but I didn't think it would start this soon!

 

Yes, you can do it with the engine in the car. I posted a picture showing the location of the bolts for the stock twin turbo removal:

It's a decent reference as some of the bolts are hard to see with the engine installed.

 

thanks for the link. I just called mazda and ordered all the seals/gaskets.

going to 'try' to take them out tonite.
