from what i can see, i believe the rear because it has more oil sitting in the valley....is this a pretty simple process to correct or an ALL day event? don't mind getting my hands dirty.....

a manual should show it before you buy just look to make sure, they are good to have around no matter what anyway, im sure if you do a search on here there will be stuff on how to replace the o rings, im pretty sure you have to remove the turbo
