I'm pretty sure I did once take that solid coolant pipe off *without*
removing the intake manifold - because I couldn't undo the rubber turbo
return coolant pipe (that I strongly suspect is the real source of the leak
in this case). It wasn't easy  - a real 3D challenge, but I thought it
might be easier than taking the intake manifold off (I might be wrong).
