Turbo Drain Line?
 

Hello well last night i was changing my oil and when i too k oil filter off i seen there was a big metal line that comes out the bottom of my turbo and goes down back into the block is that a oil drain line for the turbo. When i seen it i seen that their was a 3 inch spot taken out of it where someone spliced it with a rubber is that bad?

Yep thats the oil return line form the turbo,thats how they come from the factory.Hard line to a piece of rubber line connecting to the nipple coming out of the block.

is this on a 12 valve or 24 valve you speak of?

the 98 is a 12 valve and the 98.5 is a 24 valve

it is a 24 valve 98.5

are those lines bad about leaking where the end of the pipe is stating to go into the block because mines leaking a little?

get ya a new piece of rubber hose on there......yers may be dry and cracked

OK
IT ALSO LOOKS LIKE IT IS LEAKING FROM THE tube that is going into the block?

when you remove that tube where it goes into the block you will find an O-ring there...........replace that too
