Small oil leak by return line on oil pan.. what is this line? 850 1996

I have what looks like a small leak around a tube that goes into the front side of the oil pan on my 1996 850 GLT. I have cleaned up the pan and then re-visited only to find it is wet again after a 400 miles or so. I am definitely losing oil and have to keep tabs on it and refill. Is this a return line for the Turbo or something else and is there anything that I can do myself to repair this or I am better off letting my dealer fix this one?
Thanks for the help gang.

Marty

that's the oil cooler line from turbo. it needs a change of gasket and o ring. you can do it yourself and the o ring/gasket should be under 10 bucks at your local dealer

Thanks. Other than the awkward position to get at it, it doesn't look too bad a job. Do I just pull out the hose or is it held in place by some other means? Also I was wondering if it is possible to be leaking from above where I would guess it connects to the turbo. Kind of hard to tell with al the grease & oil down there.

Thanks - Marty

I don't see why not ? may be just some o-ring...

you can alway try if not work out than take it to dealer
