Has anyone had to replace the oil feed pipe? Mine has developed a small leak where the braided pipe is fitted to the rigid pipe. Turbo end of the connection seems straight forward, what is the fitting at the engine end?
It's a union type fitting,(assuming I have the correct one) like the gearbox oil cooler pipes, probably just as easy to replace it rather than repair it, unless you have the tools etc to do it I suppose...
Are you sure that its not dripping off the oil filter onto it.
If its the 1 I think it is, its a pain in the arse to fit the bolts in unless you have 10 year olds hands.
I had to do the gasket behind the filter housing and putting that pipe back on took longer than putting the turbo on..
For what its worth in my expierence with those type of hoses is replace it instead of stuffing around with it cause I've seen them leak further up the hose and the oil runs down inside the braiding and you think its the fitting at the bottom....But yours might be different..
