Argh! I went through a leaking turbo drain grommet over Thanksgiving weekend. I tried a temporary fix and realized afterwards that it wasn't the correct oil-resistant sealant. Now I have the oily mess you talked about. Temporarily resealing with RTV around the outside got me back home.

I noticed you put the second o-ring at the bottom of the drain tube and that makes sense. I was unsure before and since the PO/mechanic had been in this area before (dented tube, missing o-ring & missing check valve). BTW, I've found that using an assembly lube, such as Dow Corning-4, it makes for easier press fitting of rubber grommets and bushings, but clean it from your hands as it makes gripping anything near impossible.

Thanks for the check valve part number as it is next on my procurement list. Did you get your parts from Park Place and did they have them on hand?
