Turbo Oil Line

Does anyone have any write ups on how to replace the Turbo oil line? I believe I need to replace mine.

Thanks for the info, after reading some more today Im gonna have to get my car up in the air and see if I can point where the leak is. I have a general idea it is front near center almost directly direct under the turbo. Right now I don't notice anything on top of the motor.

If you find that you do need to replace the turbo oil line go with the detroit tuned kit - used it for my previous MINI and the kit is well priced with everything you need including the improved turbo oil line. Plus while you're in there, might as well replace the oil cooler seals which are prone to leak.
