ok the turbo replacement continues...

the mech has 'fixed' the leak from the oil return pipe wher it goes into the sump...they had taken a chunk out of the new seal i had provided them...

but i still seem to have oil leaking - possibly from the joints in the pipes to the oil cooler (or turbo) right down by the filter...

today i de oiled the engine bay so i can have a close look tommorow...and found the TOP gasket for the oil return pipe on the chasis rail...GRRRRRRRR...

questions:-

1. is that gasket necessary
2. can it be fitted from above by feel by dropping the oil return pipe slightly
3. the oil pipe fittings which look like compression fittings, canthey be successfully tightened, or do they have some sort of gasket in there
4. anyone think of anything suitable i can do to the mechanic (slow, painfull....etc etc)
