Many of you may now my current problem, car has been leaking oil from turbo oil feed pipe upper bolt.
my car is a 2006 mk2 ford focus sport 1.8 TDCI.
The bolt is crammed in, have about 1 cm gap on the left and quarter a centimetre on the right, I cannot get the bolt past finger tight, but with difficulty I can twist the bolt from where it screws in.
the pipe is cut as it leaked last year so we used reinforced hose and joined that onto what's left on the original metal pipe connected using jubilee clip.
I put bolt back on and it felt tight, I could not get a turn with a spanner so tapped it several times with a screwdriver though the gap was extremely tight to put it through, however when I started the engine it seemed to leak faster than it did before when the pipe wasn't as tight.
Somebody asked if it is missing a seal (washer) but I am 99.9 % sure there was no washer when I removed the pipe and the pipe has been on for about a year without any washer, if it fell off it'd be on the ground and I'd have surely seen it.
So am I right in assuming this pipe does not need any washers (seals) ?
I am almost certain there was no washer on this pipe as it has only started leaking when I hit massive pothole and I saw no washer when taking pipe off.
here is a quick video of where I am stuck, PLEASE PLEASE WATCH AND COMMENT !!!
I've been stuck on this for 3 days and no joke been at it for 30 hours in that time !
please tell me if this pipe needs any washers on it.
thank you all so much in advance
