N14 oil leak behind turbo help

Exactly. When i did mine i bumped it with my ratchet then used channel locks to grip it to wriggle it back and forth as i pulled it out.

 

doh!!!!!

 

Ok. I hate to suggest this, but it's what i would, and have, done before dropping the pan. Drill a small hole like 1/4 inch and screw an easy out into it to give you something to grip to work it out.

I can not stress enough how its probably a really bad idea. However i have done it and the engine hasn't exploded yet.

Edit to add: if you do try this, get the the others out first cause if more break it might just be faster to drop the pan.

 

Drill right into the plastic nozzle. You have the new ones in hand right? There are like 3/4 off an inch thick so if you go straight into the center you won't risk hitting the block with the drill. Just don't go too deep.

If you don't have a lot of experience with a drill you probably should not do this and should drop the pan instead. Dont forget to get new oil tube orings and gaskets when you get the pan gasket. The tube going from the pump to the side of the pan has to come off to get the pan off.

 

I'm a big believer in anti-seize. Pan bolts do seize from time to time and aren't a critical torque, so yes, you can certainly anti-seize them.
