how long does this take to do for a first timer?

With all parts on hand, approximately an hour for the actual job...but if its your first time SLOW DOWN and make sure you do it right...check and re-check. Dont be in a rush, which means have an afternoon free in case of a problem. Its not a hard job, just a little irritating at times.
To answer your other question...on the 5 cylinder 3L engines, follow the thick tube coming out the bottom of your turbocharger and look where it meets in the oil pan...normally, you should have a rubber boot there...if theres nothing there, thats probably the remains of your grommet (those things are NOTORIUS for drying out!) Remember, if you think you may have let some rubber pieces drop into your oil pan...drop your oil pan and clean it out then change your oil...these engines last when taken care of!
Thanks for looking...any other questions, lemme know!
