Default does the whole EGR + Manifold need to be removed to tighten a turbo oil feed bolt ?

My car, 2006 ford focus sport 1.8 TDCI ( mk2 series)


It has a leak from top engine oil feed pipe bolt located at the rear of the engine near manifold e.t..c, It was loose so I tried to tighten it but could only get it finger tight, oil comes out of it with engine on. I cannot get space to turn because there is a box thing there (torque something I think someone said??)
how am I supposed to tighten the bolt fully without removing whole EGR and the manifold that it is integral with ?
it turns a bit but then stops and requires a spanner to tighten it but have no room at all, been at this for over 10 hours and still no luck so far.


please help

I appreciate your fast response, thank you.


This is crazy, I actually considered that this morning but wasn't sure how to go about it and wasn't sure if it was possible.
How does one go about altering/cutting a spanner please ? if I can get the sides thinner I should be able to get a good turn.


I have tried looking for smaller width spanners but can't seem to find any.


please reply as soon as you are able.




thanks you very much
