I guess what I really wanted to say is, I DO NOT wish to drop the oil pan and go through all that in this 30 degree weather. I would liek to get this fixed, but can find next to no way to get in at the bolts holding the turbo drain gasket in place. Even if I got the bolts out, which is nearly impossible, I can't turn the tube in any direction because everything is so tight. Then, even if I got the tube turned or off, cleaning the turbo flange is nearly impossible.

So I need help to figure out how to best get this job done, in my parking lot, in 30 degree weather, so my car doesnt leak sooooo much oil all the time out that turbo seal, and make a huge mess of the ground and the underside of my car.

Thanks for any help,

JMH
