Stupid question about turbo oil return line gaskets...
I was too busy taking the damned turbos off to notice if there is a gasket. I'm pretty certain there is but, what do they look like? I can't find a single one anywhere. Anyone have a picture?

Thanks

Aaron

There will be 3 of them that look like the picture attached. The 4th one will be odd ball as that's the one which goes to the front line (engine side).

Nope, that doesn't matter.

They can only be re-used so much before you need new ones, but those metal crush gaskets work extremely well.
