[Mk2] [Turbo] turbo oil feed pipe

[gumbo_gts]

right after swapping over turbos im leaking on the feed pipe at the bottom of the turbo , now i replaced this pipe 2 and new gasket on my old turbo , fitted my new one and its still leaking wot am i doing wrong is there a certain way the small gasketg goes , i have been using a smear of silcone over the gasket to hold it in place , i tighten the 2 bolts as tight as possible

is it a common place to leak

is there anything else i can do , a replacement pipe or something ,

That could be your problem, if the silicone has gone between the gasket it will leak.

deffo...i thought mine was a steel gasket with a rib in it...

[gumbo_gts]

yeah thats wot ive been using , so no need for sealant then

I would say not...prob doesn't go off propperly there either...unless it's clinically clean...mine was fine and it looks like the original gasket, re-used for the ct20...but the lower banjo fitting gaskets were pants and I changed those...many thanks to Peter at Sbits.
