Oil leak at banjo bolts for FMOC
What do I need to do to stop this? Can I pull them off and clean them, then just retighten, or do I need a new o-ring/washer?

love the braaaap
On a stock FMOC, there is one banjo bolt that connects the return line to the back left side of the engine. To fix a leak here, you just need to replace the 2 crush washers.

As someone stated, you can get new crush washers cheap. Grab a couple (you need two per banjo fitting) and slap em in.

If you do get the new line, be careful removing it from the cooler itself, as the coolers tend to crack when you try and loosen the fitting because the whole "neck" of the cooler which the fitting is threaded into twists. Just use two wrenches on the fittings as designed (one holds the fitting in the cooler, the other turns the line), and you should be fine.

they aren't too expensive. you need to be VERY careful when retightening the lines on your oil cooler. they dont need much pressure. hand tight and about an 1/8 of a turn will do it. when you get the fmoc out and get the lines off, inspect the oil cooler's bungs for cracks.

cracks killed my stock cooler. ofcourse thats mainly cuz the PO hit about a billion animals and it was bent up and back. resulting in cracks at the bungs. i got a 2nd fmoc and had an adapter made for it. so i still have my old lines + a foot or so of 2nd lines.
