Firstly, do the plastic pipes from the brake fluid reservoir to the abs modulators just pull out? Haynes manual mentions push and take out clips but there's no clips I can see.

Second, on pulling off the hose from the bottom of the charge cooler there was a couple of spoonfuls of oil. When the car was ticking over last year, there was no sign of anything untoward coming out of the exhaust but it was never driven.
It's the original turbo (1990 car) but it's been of the road for 14 years and I'm wondering if the oil seals in the turbo may need replaced?

Since the engine and box are coming out, I'm going to replace the crankcase and gear box oil seals just in case but since the engine has only done 4K since I rebuild it, don't see the point of stripping it. Compression check suggested it was very healthy in spite of the last dimwits who tuned it? having it vastly over fuelling, mainly due to the fuel distributor being goosed.

Otherwise very happy as the engine bay come up with no nasty surprises

Thanks for that, easy when you know how.
Wish overhauling the master cylinder and restoring the servo were as easy
but both off and ready to be sorted.
