Turbo oil leak maybe?

[Paul Clark]

Got some oil on the top of the lower radiator hose.
Think it's coming from (not sure of my correctness of terms here) the oil return line on the turbo.
The one that has the conduit stuff on it.
Is there a gasket in there someplace?
And if I remember, those bolts were a real buggar to install when I put on the new turbo.
Thanks
Paul

Yes, there is a gasket there and that is where it's probably coming from. The flange will warp if you tighten the bolts down too tight. You may have to straighten it out when you replace the gasket.

8mm studs the proper length work great for that install.

Get a new thick gasket too, GM or good Buick turbo vendor.

For sure, get a GM one, they are thicker. I went and bought a pack of 8 , for a few bucks from the dealer
If you cant find one, let me know, and ill send ya one

Thanks.
I'll trade you for a TB gasket and/or vac. block gasket.
Ordered one of each and wound up paying for packages of 10!
