Default turbo oil return gasket?

the oil return from my turbo (s2) seems to be leaking is there supposed to be a gasket on it as it is a new turb and i never put one on?
its fookin tight so it aint that, it needs something in there.

if theres not meant to be a gasket can i use that liquid gasket stuff?

cheers!

ere edd on a sidenote, you polybushed your entire s2 didnt you?

when you did the rear wishbones, how much do you need to take off to do them?
can you just unbolt each end and do one end at a time or take the whole lot off?
what about the brake compensators, just disconnect em or leave em on?

take the arm right off mate cos you need to press the bushes out ect.


and you need a proper drift for it as you can bend the arms taking em out, my mate had one at his workshop. He'd do it all for about 200squid tho
