Oil return line what size is the id od???
Oil return line what size is the id od???
FOUND A SMALL LEAK IN MY DRIVEWAY TODAY AFTET CHANGING MY OIL TODAY.THE LEAK SEEMS TO BE DRIPPING ON MY DOWNPIPE.I LOCATED MY Leak it a small hose around 3 inches and length and hold be 2 small worm clamps and Connects to a long metal line that go in the side of the oil pan..What hose is this exactly and what size do I need to buy ..thanks.
Car was new I'm the original owner but I have a 6262 Turbo kit I remember I lost a oil line and I guess they made this line for me..what should I do? ?don't remember now I thought this was factory does anyone have a factory pic.
The factory hose is all metal and probably won't work with your turbo kit. You can probably try tightening the hose clamps first and see if that helps. If the line if bad then you'll probably have to replace it. Just try to find one that is oil resistant. I had to deal with a similar situation on my car. The size is a bit odd, but I just drained the oil, then took the line apart and used the existing rubber hose to try to find a replacement size.
Crap just changed the oil yesterday if I change this line will I have to drop the oil??? Maybe go to the parts store and take a pic to try to match it up or buy a bunch of different sizes and try to match it up..I figured the stock one wasn't gonna fit or can I buy this from ams,or some sort of company. The line seems to have to small pin hole in it maybe ill try the clamps first but seems to be the hose from the loom but also could be the clamps are loose..I'm gonna try to have a local Guy near me throw it on the lift before work and maybe snap a pic of it..

since you're running a non factory style style I would just buy an oil return line kit
www.extremepsi.com sells them for any turbo setup.
problem is you don't want to clamp too hard and shut the line closed- oil will back up inside the line and start seeping out the turbo!

You have to clamp down them tight or else the oil will start to drip more..I looked at the line today and tried moving the clamp in a different way but no luck so I called ams performance and they sent me out a new line a gasket..Aslo note there no way if clamping it down to hard to have that problem I have a different return line then the link you sent me..
