turbo charge return line leakage S40-V40 2000

I went to get my oil change at the dealership, it costs me $52.00. They told me that the turbo charge return line is leaking a little bit. They asked me if I want to get it done but they didn't tell what it would cost me.

My question is, how hard is it if I were do it myself? I have very limited experience, I only had this car for about four months.

Thanks for your help!

this is an easy fix if you have some experience with working on cars. The parts are not easy to get to, and the new seal is a bear to get on(it's larger,and so stops the leak). be sure you have a 1/4 inch drive ratchet with several size extensions and a universal joint to get to the outlet screws on the turbo side.

It is helpful to have a mirror and light to see what you are doing, and get the car up as high as you can and secure it with jackstands. you have to do some contortions to get to the thing.

It's $8.50 for the kit and easy.
