1994 850 turbo leaks oil

I have a persistent oil leak from the oil pipe that runs from the block to the turbo. It leaks at the engine block end, about a drop a minute when the engine is running. Can anyone tell me whether I am biting off too much to try to repair it myself? I am thinking that the job looks fairly straightforward - remove the pipe and replace gaskets at both ends - but it's in an awkward location.

Yes, it's awkward, but easy. It's one of those that can take 35-45 minutes the first time but 15 every time after. If there ever is another time. Another plus: gasket and o-ring are cheap.

My hardest part was getting the line back in... just angle and push.
