One of my oil cooler lines has sprung a leak, its the factory oil cooler and lines.

I need an oil change so i went to do it and saw this leak, i dont really want to change the oil without solving this problem first.

Where can i get a factory replacement?

A stainless line that bolts up to factory cooler (ideally)?

or can i fix the line that is currently on and leaking?


Thanks for any help!

Well, it all depends on where it is leaking from. Is it leaking from the banjo bolt that attaches it to the oil cooler? If so, try tightening it or you can buy new washers for it. Or is it seeping out of the line itself. If that's the case, then a replacement will be needed. I still have my OEM lines since i switched to a aftermarket setup if you're interested in buying them. Otherwise, i have purchased them from the dealer before. Good luck.

The banjos seem like they are dry, at least the oil cooler one is dry, by oil has kinda spatttered all over everything, there is a rubber sleeve over the line and there's a bunch of oil and grime in it, so I'm pretty sure its seeping out of the line itself...

So there are no stainless after market replacements then?

You would have to build your own line, probably around $75 in parts to make both lines.

Well that doesn't sound horrible, how does one go about doing this if you don't mind my asking?

Thanks

Start with 4 of these: http://www.intengineering.com/m18-to...r-fitting.html

and about 3-4ft of -6AN line and 4 -6AN hose fittings.

can that work?

It can but you would need M18x1.5 to -8AN rather than the ones I posted plus that line is 3x the length you would need. Much cheaper to piece your own line together.
