I went out the other day and started my truck when it was pretty cold so i was going to let it warm up. When I get outside of my truck I noticed a huge oil leak underneath the front of the engine. Well needless to say it hasnt leaked a day in its life and now all of a sudden it does. I noticed that it came from what looks like oil lines right underneath the drive side exhaust manifold? Does anybody have any advice for me, or had the same problem? Thanks

I have not had to replace the o-rings in mine yet, but other here have. I sounds like a traight forward job, but whe I have looked at mine it seems like a bear of a job.

I remember seeing a bunch of pics & instructions in the IDI section. I happened to be looking at On-board air and they had a bunch of fixtures to clamp the ends back on. I hope the OBS TDIs aren't that much trouble.
