Turbo return oil Seal

[Ivan]

Does anyone know how bad a weeping Turbo return oil seal is....
on a scale from...
- trivial fix it yourself, to...
- get a new engine/turbo mate!

...and would a RICA upgrade exacerbate the problem?
(what was that crazy word I used )

I Agree, the price of the parts is small, the price of the shape you have t get to isn't, on my 850 I found the only way to get the pipe off the car was to remove one of the water/turbo pipes, casuing all the water to run out, not pretty in the pit or down my arm, so beware, drain before you start, other than that the job is pretty easy, a couple of spanners and a allen key, I found the bolts were very loose, I guess worked loose with time....

Overall on a scale of 1 to 10, I would say a 2
