Do you have the p/n of the o-rings and hardware I need to put the drain tube back into service? Any pics from the FSM would be helpful.
The tube visible is the turbo drain tube. The separator drain tube is behind the turbo drain tube.
If you can wiggle the tube check the mount bracket to the tube. It has been know to break. Otherwise it has just become unbolted.
Sorry I don't have the part numbers for the orings.

Dave
