I simply put a good lever on it and slowly tightened it until the drip stopped. I have not had problems since. I got my copper washers from mitsubishi.

Bump this from the dead, what's the best way to replace the copper crush washers without removing the turbo? Installed my green, coolant leaking on the starter, almost left me stranded the other day... I REALLY don't want to pull the turbo to replace these but want to do it right. Any advice would be AWESOME, thanks.
