    Oil Leak from exhaust

    Ok, only two more to go. Missing some compression fitting for the 1/8" line. The big problem is how the heck do I get to the 1/4 tubing up under the injector pump. Guess I have to remove the winch drive shaft. Install is turning out nice.

    Oil Leak from exhaust

    Thanks, guys the hoses are new on the turbo. I will pull off and check. Since I pulled out the radiator it's never goes above 180. Burn it out:driver: cbvet, I agree, but I pride myself keeping this truck tactically ready. Plus I like turning wrenches more than driving.
