Y tube Leak
 
First off, Hi, I am new here and use my truck mainly for towing.

Took my 2000 F350 in for Transmission Maintenance and the Dealership said I had a leak on the Y-tube from the Turbo. They said over time this will affect the power and performance.
They quoted over a grand to fix it. My question is "Can I fix this myself? Help

1k sounds like the turbo up pipes... From the manifold to the turbo. Thats the book rate for that work.

If you are a decent backyard mechanic its not that bad of a job... Let me know if thats it and we can talk you thru it...

Thanks guys, I will do a little more research on this and then most likely tackle it myself. If I need help, I'll yell.
