Not an uncommon failure. How many smiles on the car?

got 90K - I discovered it while doing general maintenance under the car.

if any of you have some tips on the best way to take care of it please post it. i hope the turbo does not need removal ...

i havent replaced it. it seem that i am loosing very little coolant, to the point where i havent had the need to add any yet.

i am afraid of opening this can of worm without seeing some kind of tutorial about how to attack it.

Hardest part about it is just lining up the coolant pipes with the turbo to put the screw back in. Might be sorta uncomfortable with out a car lift. Just keep an eye on it
