hey all....it isnt that seriors...it seems to be a leak at the above mentioned spot....where the return line goes to the block not at the top of the line only at the bottom where it goes into the block...

best way to go about fixing it....is what i am looking for....are there any seals that need to be replace...

it is a small leak but it drips down on the block and runs back to the rear....where it pools and drips down....

thanks

Don't want to sound like Captain Obvious.... but your oil filter is directly above it and after a few oil changes the oil might be dripping onto it...

Thought mine was leaking too...

But on the other hand, I have no idea how to fix it.

oil drain tube bolts to the turbo and there is a gasket between the flange of the drain tube and the turbo then the metal drain tube goes into a rubber hose and into the block

right i realize that...so i guess my next question is....i have identified that the leak in NOT at the top where the tube bolts to the turbo.....it is at the bottom where you have identified a rubber hose attaching to the block....what is used to hold this rubber hose in place...i cant believe it just sits on the block...how do i tighten it down or push it onto something or what ever it takes to make it stop leaking...

anyone have an idea.

mine hose clamps holding it to the peice that comes out of the block. had the same problem with the dump truck with an n14 and the tube out of the block was loose

there is a pipe (in the block which is most likely pressed into the block ) if you want to call it that the hose clamps on to it
*drain tube,rubberhose,pipe in block

thanks guys....it seems there is NO hose clamp on it.....and the hose is pulled up a bit....

exactly what i needed...any guesses as to the Dia. of the hose to fit clamp accordingly???

the clamp probably broke and fell off (Chinese junk)

Yep hose just pushes in... Mine is leaking from the bolts but that's from turbo swap I might have to get a new gasket. Goona tear into that tomorrow!!
