Oil line turbo leak

[Polecat]

Had my 87 GN for a 4 wheel alignment and asked them to check out an oil leak. The mechanic wasn't there when I returned but I was told that I have a Oil line to turbo leak. I'm a new guy to all of this. Is this something big? If anything needs to be coming off should I be buying all new parts? Is this something a realitively new guy could handle? I'm usually good at taking parts off and replacing but not with troubleshooting mech. problems.

Thanks.....

Did they say whether it was the oil feed or oil drain line? Either one is easy to change. I am guessing the gasket on your drain line is seeping, but without more description it is but a guess. They are cheap:

No sorry thats all the information I have. If its a relatively easy fix perhaps I should replace both. This car sat for several years before I bought it and I want everything to be perfect.

Are you kidding me? i just got back from getting an alignment, and saw oil dripping while it was on the rack..... the drain gasket bolts needed about a half turn each..... weird

yea it drove me crazy too if the bolts are not loose on it 2 size ten mm

unbolt it clean the surface and turbo sides and put a new gasket i usually use a hair thin layer of rtv like not even a drop because mine usually still leaks after i put on a new gasket
