The turbos are liquid cooled so a leak in the plumbing would put the e-gly
in the wrong place. What are our options if any?

Hose is a misnomer. They are steel lines as I recall. I also don't see how
firesleeve is going to stop them from leaking coolant on the turbo.

Servicing the joints is an obvious solution. Is there some other possible
plan?

That's interesting. Looks like Mazda did a little nickel and dimeing.  The second 
gen 1987-1991 are steel lines as I recall. Like this Mecanair turbo engine. I will have 
to take another look at mine next time I go to the hangar.
