New to this site but i'm a long time benz owner I finaly got a 300d turbo and the oil return line from the turbo is leaking I got the new seals and gasket but it looks like I have to remove the whole turbo to replace the seals does anyone know if the line can be removed without removing the turbo

240D 3.0T

Remove the turbo first.

you think I could get away with reuseing the gasket for the turbo

thanks for the link after reading it I pulled off the turbo oil return line without removing the turbo. Theres was just enough room for me to get to it with a 1/4in ratchet and a half extention no swivel needed after that I had to disconnect the bracket for the ac line to get enough room to remove the turbo line, then I had two remove the oil pan because about half of the groomet went into it. also had to replace the oil tube it self had a hole on the side of it. the whole job took me about 2 hours and cost me less then 50 bucks, so thanks again now theres no more oil spots in my driveway
