Need some help from the WiseMen

Hey guys..unfortunately I do not have a picture, so I will try to explain as best as I can..

If you are looking at the engine from the front. To the left front side of the head, just below the valve cover...there is a bolt of some sort. Im not sure if oil or coolant is in this spot, but what is this...It runs parallel with the direction of lets say the axles and perpendicular to the upper radiator hose.

Its right near the water neck..Sorry for this explanation, I hope im making sense. Something went here, and it broke off. The previous owner just stuck an old stud in it to stop it from leaking and I would like to make sure the correct part is there..

I think your talking about the oil line from the head to the turbo. If its pluged up most likley your running a force fed oil line from the oil filter which is way better because you get more pressure and the oil is cleaner after the filter than the head. Check your turbo's oil line and see where its fed from, its most likely going to be stainless steal.

Im definately running a force fed SS line to my turbo. I just was not positive what this hole was for, although the small leak seemed to be oil. Does anyone know what size this bolt is? I would like to put the right thing in there to stop this small leak

You could try some locktite lock on the bolt that is currently in there.

Its not a bolt....its a stud, without the hex head and it looks like crap.

I would like to know the factory bolt required or atleast the size so I can pick one up from the hardware store. It looks rediculous, and it already has sealant on it and still leaks..

If its a stud then he force it through the threads or what. How will you get the stud out to put the bolt in. Im confused what he used to plug it.

That is usually where the stock turbo would get its oil from (turbo oil feed line). It's usually bolted on with a banjo bolt. If you got a stock banjo, it won't stop the leaking since there's a hole in the middle without any threading. It's best if it isn't dethreaded to replace whatever is in there with a proper threaded bolt that's about 1/2 inch long. It's either a 10mm or 12mm bolt.

Hope this helps...

I picked one up at Autozone that looks like it will fit so when the car cools down after work ill try it out.

Defiant, good point, i just always feel like I should explain it how I look at it because not everyone things of it like that
