Damaged turbo oil drain tube

[stayalert]

Hmmmmm? what's all that blue glob "fixing"? Aha.....a couple of little holes...New pipe ordered from Phil @ fastlane. I felt like I hung up the phone and walked to the front door. Thing arrived in like 12 hours...Thanks Phil!!

In light of this thread, I shall report that nearly 1.5 months later and over 1.5k miles later, my orange sealant work on my drain tube isn't leaking a drop!

(Note this pic is from when I did it, it has road-dirt on it now, but no oil seepage at all, its holding up excellently)

Sweet and such a good color for this time of year.

I wonder if a quick squirt of the "miracle fix-all" leakender 2000 would do it?

I was contemplating doing something like this myself, following two ineffectual new grommet installs. Is there a thread covering this in more detail?
