    I had a slow leak from this area and
    did the work to replace that turbo oil
    line and also replace the oil cooler-filter
    housing gaskets while I was at it since
    you have to do pretty much the same
    disassembly to get to either.
    It turns out that the oil line was fine
    (I replaced it with the Detroit Tuned
    parts anyway) but the cooler/filter
    gaskets were not (so of course
    replaced them, too).
    It took a while to finish the job but
    nothing crazy difficult (except drilling
    out, tapping and replacing a turbo to
    downpipe stud that broke in the turbo housing).
