A few months ago I replaced the turbo on my brother's 2002 Jetta TDI. Last Friday he sprung a leak between the oil cooler (or whatever part of the "engine" that this line attaches to, under the oil filter...) and the oil line at the banjo bolt washer. Tightening the bolt does not stop the leak.
Has anyone seen this before. Thoughts on root cause or what part needs to be replaced? My initial thought is to get a new banjo bolt and washers and see if that solves the problem, but I'm worried it could be the oil line itself or the female threads on the engine side.
Any ideas?
Thanks...
