Thanks for the update Chris. I called today and the service rep informed me that he ordered a new inlet hose for the oil. Was it cracked before or did it crack during install of it? Did ya take a second to check out the actual turbo when it was out? How's it look? I have work from 6 am till 3 tommorow, so hopefully after that I can get up.. Thanks for taking the time to take care of the downpipe.. Hopefully I'll see you tommorow!
Blown Turbo methinks?/Does Inski still work at Patriot?!

It was not leaking before. It way have been weak and moving stuff around did it in. I did look at the turbo. Zero movement on the shaft, zero scrapes from the blades. Very clean inside.

Glad its fixed for you. Its a nice bugeye. No other leaks or anything. I dont remember seeing the GTI.
I drove your car to see if all the oil remnants were gone. It was still smoking a tiny bit after 2 engine clean-ups. Should be baked off by now. I was going to show you the old rotten stuff but the clean up guy chucked it all. Just picture a rusty cracked oil tube, and brittle rubber return tube, and a heat treated coolant line, and a bunch of grubby copper washer seals. Keep on truckin.
