Turbo Oil Feed Line Bolts

[Robes87GN]

I was getting my 87 GN put back together after replacing a bad coolant hose, and I noticed a slight drip from the silver turbo oil feed line. I turn the car off and look at where it might be coming from, exactly. I ran my finger around the bottom of the line and I can't feel any bolt heads and it's moving around. Problem found. Question is, what size are the bolts that hold that hold the line to the bottom of the turbo? I can't seem to locate them at all.

Are you talking about the turbo drain line?

Yes... I had just kind of woken up when I had written it. I found one of them in the corner of the garage. My brother's dog must have kicked them.

Stock turbo?
They should be M8 x 1.25 threaded bolts if memory serves me correctly.

Somebody on here suggested to put in studs with nuts , in place of the bolts because they are hard to line up and get started. I tried it when I replaced my head gaskets and it works great. All you need is 2 allen screws about 1 inch long , run them in until they bottom out slide the return line over the studs and install lock washers & nuts. :biggrin: Sam
