They were still struggling to seal the joint when I rang them at 5:20. I suspect they didn't start on it until late in the day. My MOT runs out tomorrow. Hopefully, they will have sealed it by early tomorrow and found the cause of the lean mixture if it doesn't turn out to be the joint (I suspect it will, though). I can get a re-test without an appointment and hopefully will be roadworthy again tomorrow evening.
I seem to remember I applied some copper grease to get it to seat properly (at least I thought it was seated properly!).
I don't think the oil is meant to last, but rather to assist the downpipe in seating evenly on the turbo as you do up the nuts. Without it, I found one side or other binds and it doesn't seat evenly.
