I'm still a newby but have been reading and reading and reading....and reading...and staring at my engine, and staring at other peoples engines and listening to others experiences. (THANKS ! Mark)

So....I'm looking at my turbo drain thingamabobber - you know the two sections of pipe thing that goes down below the turbo...Anyway. the current set up has the top pipe fitting over the lower pipe. Why is that? would'nt this arrangement be more leak resistant if the upper pipe went into instead of over the lower pipe?

Please go easy on me I'm new to this but am trying to repair and prevent leaks as many as I can at once instead of sequencially....
