Turbo leak

Just discovered a leak were the turbo bolts to engine. Peice of gasket missing. I'm blowing black smoke under load and have a loss of power. Also looks like a nut is missing from stud on right side. I have another 3-4 hour last leg of our trip tomorrow.
So opinions on runnng like this for 4 hours. I much rather fix this in my backyard at home and know were to get parts.

  • Won't hurt the motor at all. It will smoke and be down on power but good to run
  • soak them now and every time you stop . any help is better than snapping one off.use a pentrating oil not wd 40.
  • Run it....start soaking those bolts/nuts. I've seen worse.
