if thats the case mate then no.pick one up for a fiver , not even.however make sure it IS the oil return leaking and nothing else.i suggest that u clean the area fully and inspect the pipe.even jack it up and ask him to start it and watch from where its coming from.the return pipe itself is a rubber L shaped pipe coming from the sump up towards the turbo.make sure its not the oill feed to turbo, and also if its leaking oil listen for any knocks or strange noises as it may have been run low at some stage all the best mate..

as above mostly. If its the standard oil feed/return the feed is quite prone to cracking, mine had a tiny split in it and lost ALOT of oil in a very short time! But no, not a hard fix if that is the problem
