Found a Loose Torx Bolt Laying on Front Turbo

So while I was doing my normal routine oil leak inspection I found this little guy stuck on top of the front turbo right next to the oil line. It was just wedged in there chillin.. I used a magnetic tool to get it out of the tight spot.

I did have my turbos replaced about a year ago and I changed coils and injectors since then (Above where screw was found) but don't see any missing bolts.

Any ideas?

it's either one of the coolant/oil line bolts or the turbo shield bolts at the block

Engine mount bracket. Or power steering pump bolt that fastens into oil pan.

Heat shield were solenoids are attached. Feel with your fingers if there is a missing bolt

Yep it’s a heat shield bolt, it feel out from the front mounting hole right above turbo where it was found... no clue how this just loosened up and fell out.

Anyway it’s gonna be a pain to get it back on have to remove coolant tank etc...
