Re: turbo coolant line busted anybody know how much cash
Which one leaks and at what point?. In the pix, #23 is the supply line and #25/26 is the return. I presume you have a leak at one of the flexible points in either 23 or 26.

I've read about folks carefully cutting off the swedges around the flexible hose and then installing new hose on the remaining barbs with hose clamps. Haven't personally had to do that myself.
World Impex claims to have both of them. They want $32+ for the return line and $120 for the other. Autohauseaz has the return for even less, but doesn't list the supply.<ul><li><a href="http://www.autohausaz.com/search/product.aspx?sid=zsmogjvtagnd0n453qkfnd45&part number=035121498B">Autohause deal</a></li></ul>

I could be wrong but if it is one of the steal braided lines with the fittings on them take it to a local Hydrolic shop and have it rebuilt. It is a lot better (strength) quality than OEM. I had it done for my PS hose...

Re: im pretty sure its 26, isnt that the one that ends up
It's been a while since I looked at an '87, so I don't remember exactly where the return line goes. The supply line starts on the side of the engine, I think. I think the return line goes to the other side of the engine. Hose #26 has a banjo bolt connection wherever it goes, if I understand the drawing. Hose #23 has a hose clamp where it connects to a hard fixture on the engine.
