Have had this oil leak for a while, that keeps getting worse. Finally found it today on the line that feeds the turbo oil in the clamp right at the back of the engine.

What options do I have to fix this? Not had much luck with junk yards here.

Has the clamp worn through the line?

I appears that is what has happened. Got to have the car for work, so trying to decide what to do....

For a temporary repair, you might try wrapping a piece of (split) hose around the pipe, then putting a hose clamp over it.

Where in WA are you? I think I have a spare line in my parts stash.

I live in Amboy, and work in Camas. I do not think the hose will work, because this line is under pressure?
If you have one, I would even give you a fair price for it.

thanks

How about $0, that's what I paid for it. Let me know when you want to meet up, I live in E. Vancouver.

It's an official U.S. Navy damage control technique. It works.
