Hose Diagram

Help... I just bought (well actually won in a poker game) an 87 TC. While bypassing my heatercore, haha, I noticed some of the hoses attached to the IC and the turbo were in bad shape. I also found some open vacuum connections. Does anyone have any diagrams or pics of what the hoses are and where they should all go. Also I seem to have a VERY large oil leak. Whan the car is running and shortly after is shuts off there is oil leaking from somewhere. I realize that you can't completely diagnose an oil leak without looking at it, but it seems this oil may be pressurized, not just dripping and I was curious where to start?? It seems to be coming from the back of the engine, but it may just be dripping there from somewhere else?? Unfortunately I do not have a lift. Oh yeah...the car has 194,xxx miles on it. Any help would be most appreciated, since you guys really seem to know what you are talking about!!

PS: One of the hose connectors with no hose is on a computer bolted to the passenger side inner fender/shock tower....

First, remind me never to play poker with you LOL !

Second, I think the attached picture is fairly accurate...but it may not be perfect.

Third, hum...an oil leak on a TC....very strange indeed LMAO ! It could be:

Real oil seal (common) a PITA !

Oil Cooler seal (device behind the oil filter where it mounts to the block - Driver's side).

Valve Cover gasket (common) if you replace it I suggest the Felpro rubber (not cork) gasket.

Turbo Oil supply line (runs from the oil pressure sending unit on the back driver's side of the head to on top of the turbo). Another PITA to get to.

Check our Tech Section to see a pic called "sensor locations" to better see some of these items (that's my engine BTW...hehehe).

Forth, a bad heater core...hum on a TC...very strange indeed LMFAO !!!! [Image: biggrin.gif]

Welcome and congratulations on you new .....ahh ...winning. [Image: biggrin.gif] are you sure the previous owner didn't throw the last hand???

There is no vac hose going to the back of the big black box on the paseenger fender. It looks like it should have but it does not.
Dan's diagram looks good (he is holding out, I haven't seen that one before) I also have a verbal description of the hose routings if you want it. Some hoses have check valves in them to pervent boost from getting to certain parts of the system. Be sure to keep these in the system in their original directions
