I need a turbo oil drain gasket for a TD05 Mitsubishi turbo. I ordered the oil drain tube o-ring (to block) and what I thought was the oil drain tube gasket (to turbo). So I fixed the leak I had from there being no oil drain tube o-ring but now I have a new leak from the oil drain tube gasket at the turbo because I got the wring gasket. Unfortunately the company I bought from does not sell the gasket I need. I need to get this fixed by Monday because the Volvo is my DD. I am pretty sure all TD05 turbos used the same gasket for the oil drain (looks like an egr gasket). Does anyone know where I can find one ASAP? Thanks.

I am needing one like the white one in the pic [attachment=39658:attachment]

Thanks. I will try that. If not I can get some thick gasket paper and make my own.

Got it figured out. Wasn't able to make a new gasket but I found an assortment of metric o-rings at the shop. The oil drain pipe had a lip that fit an o-ring in perfectly. Cleaned up the surfaces and used a light coating of rtv to hold the o-ring in place. No more leaks! The o-ring solution worked out better than I could have hoped and the thickness was perfect so that the o-ring compression is just right.
