2001 Audi a4. 146k miles. Oil leaking from oil supply line on top of turbo. Also, the line next to it "appears" to be leaking. Hard to tell, it may be the oil supply line touching the other one, making it appear to leak as well. I tightened the oil supply line today, it was about 1/2 a turn lose. I'm wondering if the copper washer is shot, or if the previous owner even put one on when replacing the turbo.

Anyway, here are some pics. PLEASE HELP! Red arrow points to main leak, or oil supply line. (I am a newb so I may have my lines mixed up).

 

What's your question exactly? If you have a leak fix it. Replace washers if needed. I know it is very tight down there so if you end up pulling the turbo report back with its condition. The oil and coolant lines will go bad over time, as will the crush washers.

 

My question is, how do I fix the leak? Is there a write up anywhere that goes over removing the lines attached to the turbo? If not, what size wrenches will I need, and are there any tricks?

 

Lol sorry about not putting a clear question up in op. I felt like a tard this morning

 

I'm finding washers and o-rings and crush washers online, I'm not really sure what I need and what qty. I don't want to start the tear down until I have all the parts need.

is that the right washer use? i'm so lost lol

 

I can't see the link since I'm on my phone but easiest thing to do is just go to the dealership for little stuff like nuts bolts and washers, that is if you have a vw or Audi dealership close by. Its really not all that more expensive and in some cases cheaper. I'd replace the washers first and maybe the whole lines since they go bad over time.
