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?
