well my lines to my turbo leak horribly. i also have a bad valve cover gasket.. i changed oil 2 days ago and its already really low. so now im not driving it till i get it fixed... im just trying to figure out how hard is it going to be to change the oil lines and what do i have to do to change them? good place to get them? thanks guys your help is greatly appriciated. rear main seal MAY be leaking also i havent gotten under car to see if its leaking. but whole undercar is coated. so i cant see shit. lol but deff. turbo lines are leaking. thats where its the thickest and wettest. under the turbo. thanks!
how hard is it to replace oil feed and return line to the turbo?

Have you tried to tighten them? Its a PITA, But doable. Mine were only finger tight. Somehow managed to get a ratchet on them and tighten them down. Hadn't leaked since.
driftmotion sells a softline kit for the ct26. Its easier if you remove the turbo and attach the lines off the car, that way you can make sure it has a clean surface for the new gaskets.
thank you. and honestly how long would it take me since i have never done this. is it going to be a pain in the ass? or should i spend the money and pay someone?

I can help with the valve cover gasket issue. I strongly advise NOT going with felpro gaskets. I got some from autozone for that job, and they were way too big and would never seal right. Go with ones from toyota, or if you can find them, there is some company (can't for the life of me remember the name) that makes a set of silicone valve cover gaskets, and they come with a new set of grommets. Fab stuff. I have them and they seal wonderfully.
Good luck.

BTW those are toyota part numbers so you can take those part numbers to any toyota dealer ship and order them.

Its not too bad. You must unhook the downpipe, air inlet tube, turbo heat shield, support brace, Unbolt the turbo feed line banjo bolt from the block, remove the 2 nuts from the return line to the block, unhook the 2 little coolant lines to the turbo, unbolt turbo from the manifold, remove turbo, remove the feed line/returnline combo, remove old gaskets, clean gasket surface on the turbo and the return port on the block. Install new gaskets, Instalation is reverse of removal. If I missed any steps someone add them in lol.
Indeed, but his post does say replace the line, so I pointed him in that direction incase his line is actualy compromised.Poodles;1540817 said:

My oil lines worked their way loose on my turbo, and created an air gap that allowed oil to cake, clogging the feed line, and oil starving my turbo. It ended when it snapped the spindle. Of course, your turbo could be leaking from it's seals. Is it smoking at all?
BTW.....If it is your first time removing those lines, you will question yourself about why you didn't pay somebody, before you get finished. The upper two nuts holding the turbo to the manifold are a pain in the ass, especially the one on the right. One of the 3 nuts on the downpipe is not as hard, but still a little fun. It's best if you unbolt the oil lines from the block after you have the bolts off of the turbo itself. You don't want to let the oil lines bend much at all, if any. This will aid the re-installation.

no smoke. i mean the oil gettin hot on mainfold. but i mean my turbo isnt smoking no. i know its shot tho. it still boosts but i know its warn out. i bought the car for 800$ running. had a few minor probs but body is in perfect shape and less than 130k miles on car. power steering leaks it has oil leaks but im tryin to get it together. its a beautiful car and i want to keep it forever. it just needs my tlc and its a damn complicated car lol. and expensive lol. but its fun.
If you pull the CT, buy the soft line kit. I went through 5 CTs and never got the soft line kit but damn I wish I had. It is the most frustrating job I have ever done on a car but I got really good at it. Nobody should be practiced enough to be good at that job...
im just hoping they are loose. i work a pretty hectic schedule so i cant really look at the car right now so im just trying to diagnosis it. im hoping the stock lines are fine and just loose or the gasket is shot. but i WILL keep yall posted for sure.
update*** i wanna thank everyone for their help. the part numbers i ordered and come to find out it was just the gasket. my oil leak is fixed
yay lol no more going through a quart a day lol. and my valve covers wernt leaking it was the "3rd" valve cover. but i got those drainplug rings from napa and it sealed it like a charm. thanks everyone and sorry for some of the dumber posts i have posted. this thread can be CLOSED

3rd Valve Cover???????? Doesn't that just cover the plug channels, and protect from oil from leaking in from leaking Valve Covers?
