Update,
Thought I'd try tracking leak using workshop vacuum with pipe in the vacuum blow outlet, good old gaffer tape for vacuum hose to exhaust tailpipe leaving a small gap.
Hand trigger spray bottle with fairy liquid solution, turned on vacuum, and lo and behold, more bubbles than you'd see at old Upton Park!!😀
Have two sources, Turbo to manifold looked perhaps the worst leak, Turbo to downpipe had a lesser leak, but a leak no less.....
Any suggestions on parts needed to repair this would be most appreciated please, I understand no gaskets as they came out of factory. Looked at the GCP parts list and I think I've attached the screenshot of this, fingers crossed.
1. Turbo oil pipe, looks to need gasket and o ring/seal at lower end?
2. Turbo coolant pipes look to have banjo bolts with two washers at each fixing, can these be re-used or are they like oil filter crush washers??
3. New studs and nuts on both joints?
Anything else, I do have a tube of normal exhaust assembly paste, to use on mating surfaces or not? I would obviously give all mating surfaces a very good clean.
Many thanks,
Steve
