  1. I guess we need to verify what hose

    and also need to clean engine and verify where oil is coming from

    air cooled motors have a lot of place to leak from

    there is an oil pressure switch at the top middle that will run down

    the is an old bulletin about a case leak that the oil cooler has to come off

    I have attached a picture of the S hose and the left side cam hose, sorry couldn't

    find a picture of the right side

    says pic too big will try again

  2. no need to drain the oil, the right side is the harder side as you have the A/C compressor to deal with

    one end of the hose is a banjo fitting, use new crush rings

    the other and is a nut and Ferrel set up

    the important thing is to counter hold the sending unit block so it doesn't loosen up

    then you will need to replace those crush washers also

  3. there is also an oil pressure switch at the top middle of the motor, same place as non turbo motors but the turbo oil feed line comes off the same place.

    those oil coolers are pretty tough, they do have 3 large o-rings that seal them to the block. make sure they clean the motor and actually find the leak.

  4. PPI is pre purchase inspection, best done by a third party shop

    I used to take pictures of the car including underside and engine to document any leaks and rust.

    the oil consumption is OK, well within specs

    one driving tip, these old turbos come on with a blast. be sure you are pointed in the direction you want to go when you mash the gas.
