There is a way to do it without removing the turbo if you do a search. I looked at these instructions and found it was a royal PIA without a lift. I just removed the turbo and replaced all the O rings and seals. Took about 4 hours to do the whole job. I will say it is not that hard a job, just lots of stuff to take off. Also I did it about 5000 miles ago and there were no leaks for the first 4000. Now I have a very small seep from the seal at the top of the pan where the pipe goes in. It's not bad, about what it was when I bought the car and nothing like the mess it made when I replaced it. I have been told that this is normal to have a very small seep but I don't like it. The seal I replaced was all dried out and it may have been factory since I don't see any mention of replacement in the cars history. I thought about using a section of hose with clamps between the pipe and the pan when I had it all apart to stop any future leaks but figured if the factory didn't do it then it was a bad idea. Now I have to wonder.
