Coolant line to turbo

[Sr20_44]

I replaced my turbo. Put everything back together. When I started it I noticed a leak. When looking at the car it's the braided line connected to the right side of the turbo leading to the back of the motor. I'm wondering how to get to the back of the motor to get to it? Thanks

Not sure what's back there other than the heater core lines. They run under your intake manifold.
I've always just used the lines that go in and out of the throttle body as my turbo coolant lines.

When I follow the line it leads to the back of the motor. I can't even see where it's attached to?

Sounds like you're going to have to dig if you can't get to it. Maybe pull your upper intake manifold?

I'm assuming this is for a SR?

Looks like unless you have really small hands, you'll have to pull the motor. I'm sure there's someone somewhere that's done it before.

Yeah, I would like to hi-five the dude that put that together. Very information. Such help.

You can get your hands back there to get the line off, but it's a PITA. I have large mits and I was able to do it. It wasn't easy though, ha ha. Using a nut driver is pretty handy if a standard worm drive hose clamp is being used, also a small 1/4" ratchet and a 6, 7, or 8mm socket works as well. If it's the old squeeze clamps, it's a bit more of a pain to fit some pliers back there. The extended needle nose pliers could be of help.
