Ok,
I have an 87 Sport N/A and the other day while i was at my University I noticed a big *** oil puddle under my car. at first i thought that it couldn't be my oil but i checked under the hood just to be on the sade side an I see that a braided steel line is leaking bad! Its a good thing i was able to get help from a good freind and we drove to auto zone and bought 6 quarts of oil and we carefuly took my baby back to my house.

Well I got the battery out tha way so i could get a better view of the situation. Just to let you guys know i'm not a big mechanics buff so forgive me but the line runs from what i think is the oil cooler tho the engine.
Does anybody know what the line is realy called so I can know what to ask for at the dealership.

 

oil cooler lines...go ahead and get them both

 

thanks man i rely appreciate it

 

yeah I did my line to the oil cooler from the pan, it was a pain but I did it in like 2 hours or so.

Do I have to ask for a specific part# or something

 

If it is the cooler lines you don't want to go to the stealership for them.

One line from the dealer will cost as much as a pair of SS braided high performance replacement lines from Corksport or Mazdatrix. (www.corksport.com or www.mazdatrix.com)

 

What section do i look undr. thanks for the tip.

 

Now the funny thing is I got a hole in my upper oil cooler line Friday night I just got done topping off my oil on Wed and then my oil low light came on.. Lucky for me, one of the garages I go and bs with was there after 10pm so we did a temp fix on mine by cutting the line and shoving a copper pipe into it and clamping it down (thank God he wasn't going to charge me for his help or shop tools and supplies). Good temp fix till I have the cash to get new lines for it. BTW it was a small hole that was dripping 23 drops a min..

 

Here's the cork sport ones, they are the same as the non AN type that Mazdtrix sells, and only $125 right now:

When replacing the lines, be very careful not to overtighten banjo bolts. If you do, you can crack the aluminium cooler and end up with a very expensive repair. About 45 LBS is good. Also, always replace the copper crush washers. You will need a 23MM socket.

 

About how much are shipping charges at these sites?
I live in Texas

 

call them and see, but I couldn't imagine it being more than $10

 

Thanks!
