I was familiarizing myself with the ER today and I noticed a very small amount of oil on the oil return line that goes from the compressor side of the turbo to the block. The starboard motors interior fastener was finger tight and the outboard (closest to the center line) was a little loose as well. The port side only had one bolt in! The other one was laying in the bilge.
Of course I put that bolt back in, but it is impossible to get a socket or spanner on. It is a 14MM fastener, and my local CAT dealer said about 250lb-in of torque. I'm going to try a crows foot wrench to tighten it up, any advice to get to that bolt?
There must be next to no pressure on that line for it to not be spewing everywhere with one bolt in?
