It's not a bad fix. Darn easy if you completely pull the turbos.

Most likely, it just needs new gaskets. The line are hard lines so you would have to damage them to make them leak. The gaskets however have been a failure point for a while. There are 4 gaskets in all for the turbo return lines. 3 of them are the same and the 4th is an odd ball one.

Mahjik,

That's a nice way to put it. Just about anything is easier than pulling the turbos with them in the car. Nice point.

You might PM Dale. He might not be all that close to you but maybe it would be worth a drive to hook up with him.
