:mad: OK today i recently changed my oil and toped it off with some Lucas oil and a new oil filter the 1st gen smaller one cause the bigger one produces alot of pressure for some reason i put mobile 1 10-30 and i took the return line off to clean it out and i was putting it back on and one of the bolts snapped in half like broke inside the hole on the turbo and i was mad so i rtv sealant the whole thing put the other side bolt on tighten it down and now it sounds as if my car doesn't have any oil in it its knocking really bad and i don't know what it could b ????? need help cause once i start the car it knocks really bad and I'm afraid to move it well cause i don't want to throw a rod or something really expensive i wish the bolt never broke :(
 
I don't think RTV is going to hold the oil return line tight. You might have to take out your turbo to get that bolt extracted. Did you check the oil level? Were you leaking any oil?
 
no no no i didn't seal the hole because it could b possible for it to happen cause well theres just 1 bolt holding it on and it kept moving back in forth and well i was a little afraid to drive it till it fully dried cause dumb me i rush to sealant if something breaks so i put the sealant around the gasket and so if i removed the turbo how do i get the half of the broken bolt out ?? and its full on oil cause i was looking around when i filled it just to see if it wouldn't leak but it also i put a quart in and if something had blocked it cause it took a min to show on the dipstick ill remove my turbo tomorrow to get the bolt out what would i use to remove the broken bolt ??
