A couple of days ago I noticed a very steady leak from under the oil
filter with the car running. Couldn't trace it in the beginning, but
after going over area real well with trouble light noticed that the oil
supply line for the turbo -- the one that screws into the oil filter
housing like a brake line -- is leaking a the point where the nut screws
into the housing. Looks like there may be a crack on the steel pipe
right before it enters the nut.

How much work is it to replace this turbo feed line? Where does the
line run under and how hard is it to get it into place at both ends?
Any idea how much the line costs?

Lastly, is there some super epoxy stuff out there that I might try that
will resist the oil pressure, the moderate heat, and the vibrations?
That would save me a lot of headache. But I will try it only if there
is chance that it will not give out on me in a couple of weeks/months
when i am out somewhere 200 miles from home...

Thanks
