finished installing a new head gasket and had two new problems. first one was oil leak out of oil return pipe from the turbo, that problem is fixed. the second problem is a coolant leak. looks like head gasket isn't seated firmly. any thoughts?[img:79ece0b394]http://www.2carpros.com/forum/automotive_pictures/573722_car_1.jpg[/img:79ece0b394]

DID YOU USE AN AFTERMARKET GASKET? DID YOU USE THE GUIDES FOR REINSTALLATION?

Remove the banjo bolt at the rear of the engine and replace both copper washers. Make sure when you reinstall the bolt you torque it down tight and feel the new copper washers crush in place. Let me know what happens please.
