Tightening bolt on top of turbo?

[dead_95tsi]

I am having trouble tightening the large bolt on top of my 16g turbo (oil feed line I beleive?). The bolt seems to be loose since it leaks a little oil when the motor is on. What type of tool do you use to tighten the bolt without removing the turbo assembly? I can't seem to find a wrench small enough to provide clearance from the radiator to tighten it. Thanks

Are you using a wrench or a socket? I used a deep well socket and it came right out. I don't remember the size offhand, maybe 17mm?

if it is still on the car. use a short 17mm socket put it on the bolt then slide the ratchet on the socket.

It can be tough to get a wrench with a socket in there. I usually use some swivel extentions or I loosen up the turbo bolts from the manifold far enough that i can drop the turbo down a bit. But then you would probably have to let loose the drain line as well. If you think it's tight but still leaking, go to the dealer and get a new bolt and crush washers.
