Turbo Seal

[jojo]

Not sure how to explain this, but i have some oil moisture around the bolt that is attached to the underside of the turbo. Or if you are looking under the hood, the bolt screws right in towards the lower left side (or down pipe side) of the turbo. I think ive read somewhere before that there is a simple seal or rubber gasket of some sort you can replace inside the turbo if it is leaking slighty. Im not sure if im explaining this right but it is the only screw on the left lower side of the turbo looking down under the hood that seems to very slightly be leaking oil.

Question is what is the piece called?
Where can i get the piece to replace it?
and is it fairly simple?
by the way ive got a 44 turbo

thanks

are you referring to the oil drain tube under the turbo? if so yes there is a small gasket that goes in there and they are prone to leaking.

Yes thats it, and thanks. I figured it was prone to leaking just like everything else on these cars. but do you know where you can get a stronger seal so they wont leak? vendors? ect...

thanks
