Default Coolant leak

First, I've searched.

http://www.s4biturbo.com/art-piggiepipes.php

http://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng43.shtml

I've found a few useful tutorials on how to remove the downpipies associated with my problem - the passenger side turbo coolant line is leaking.

Does anyone have any advice? Tips? Tricks? The work to replace the part doesn't seem difficult, just rather time consuming. Where would I source the replacement gasket?

Thanks!
Matt

the coolant gaskets are just metal o rings. get them from the dealer for like 5.00

I cant tell from the pic but if it is leaking around the smash washer then try tightening it up a bit.
