Hey guys I have on my car the person before me modified the oil cooler so a second gen sits infront of the radiator now and and I need to know if I have to put 2nd gen oil lines on it or if they'l leven fit. Or do I still go ahead and buy 1st gen oil lines? Thanks a lot

Is it a 2nd gen cooler? or just mounted like one.
GSL-SE are mounted about the same.

I believe it's a second gen I can get some pics.

this is what the 2nd gen cooler looks like

the first gen is much different.

YapaKanichi

yea thats it man, that's exactly it.

1st gen lines wont work. they use a thread on fitting instead of the banjo style. Most people have lines custom made when they do this conversion. What type of lines do you have now? Also hit the search. As many people have done thes change before.

it looks like basic sdtock lines that go for the cooler. They are leaking pretty badly and need to be replaced, could they have the first gen lines on them and that is why they are leaking?

the fist gen lines are totally different and wouldn't work at all. so, the leaking is may be coming from a cracked fitting (common) or from a rupture in the line itself.

ok, I got some pics comeing soon, once my other computer works right.

you may try replacing the lines with a nice set of braided stainless lines. that should fix your problem if the lines are actually the source of the lak. a good set runs about 110.00 from mazdatrix.

You'll have to go here to see the pics

Hades12

That looks like a GSL-SE cooler. can you take pics of the end of the cooler where the lines go into it?

YapaKanichi

yea I'll get some

YapaKanichi

they're up

Hades12

That is a GSL-SE Cooler. is it the lines leaking or the fittings or the cooler. The cooler will crack and leak. you may need to tighten the lines some. the last person may have not pulled them tight enough. But be carefull or you can crack the cooler.

How much is it leaking? Where is it leaking at?

YapaKanichi

well if you look at the sway bar it's covered in grease and oil, and the endings where it meets up with the cooler it's leaking as well.

YapaKanichi

the sending a receiving oil lines also leak and the front and rear main seal and the oil pan, other than that, it's all good.

Hades12

There are copper crush washers that seal the pipe thread to the cooler. They are probelly between the pipe thread and the block also. They may just need tightened to stop the leak. I took one off this weekend and It was all I could do to remove the lines, they were so tight.

Myself. If you are not leaving a puddle everytime you stop then I would not mess with it.

time for new lines. you barely ned to tighten the lines on the cooler. heed this advice! you will crack the female end with little effort.

also, make sure you get new crush washers! it may be leaking due to lack of crush washers.

it's like everytime I leave the car sit for 5 minutes. A little droplit here and there. I want to replace the oil pan gasket asap. What do you guys think? It's got oil everywhere.

YapaKanichi

The lines going under the carb also leak as well, what could be this issue?

cracked metering pump lines. you need to replace those ASAP! or you can block off the omp and premix. the pan gasket is an easy fix. might as well replace it. while you are at it, and you decide to keep the omp, replace the gasket.

YapaKanichi

the gasket going to the OMP?

you can see the lines leaking on the first page of the engine.
