I tried to replace turbo oil line but can't get to it all. I know my limitations! Any mechanics to choose from for help in Jacksonville Florida area?

 

Jacksonville area mini motorers (JAMM) is a group on facebook

(a closed group)

you could join and ask there ....

sadly few folks use the once popular and useful SunshineMinis.org web site ... where this type of info was easily found ...

Sunshine Minis is an open group on FB, you could ask there too.

 

Not on Facebook

 

well, like I said, that's where the folks have moved that discuss your topic

I think websites were more useful in this case but I'm in the minority.

try here - dunno how current the info is

I got the oil line changed by myself, right tools help! What I would like some advice on is an oil leak. right in front of the turbo oil line where it comes from the block there is a piece the has a few 8mm bolts holding it on. I am not sure what it is, but there is a silver hose that goes out the top of it to the bottom of the turbo. Right at the base of that it leaks. It's not much but enough that when the block gets hot is burns, then the radiator fan catches the smoke and sends it out the air scoop. Big question, is this ok?

 

are you referring to bolt number 12 in the image below?

Found out it is oil filter housing. The gasket is going and the seep hole is seeping.
