Hi I have a small leak from the Oil return Pipe from the turbo, Item No 1 in the image below.

When I upgraded to the Astra VXR Turbo/Manifold I had to twist the flange (with the gasket labeled No 2 on it) through 90 degrees to get it to align with the new manifold. At the time i was nervous about creating a leak but i was gonna have to buy a new pipe otherwise so twisted it anyhow.

It twisted on the flange joint well and leak tested fine but last week i got a whiff of oil burning and after a little rummage around found some residue left on the pipe.

I assume I need the Pipe and Gasket off of the Astra VXR but need the part number Does Anyone know/have it?

Thanks for the offer. My local stealers claim to have the correct part number and I had already told them to get it on order for me before reading your post. All the same if you can confirm the correct part number I will feel a lot better. If its the same as the stealers order then at least I know I havent handed over my money for no reason and I think siztenboots will be happy If its not then I need to go slap the stealers for being.... well stealers.

what is leaking on the recalls? The same pipe? I bought the turbo off courtenay's last summer, should i be concerned?

Anyhow looks like i have the right parts on order, i hate paying retail prices though.

thanks for the offer duncan
