Oil cooler

Hello all. I noticed a small 0il leak on my oil cooler lines. I think its coming from the lowest hose , closest to the rack and pinion steering. I noticed that when I started the car it drips from that hose. also that whole side of the plastic shroud(not fan shroud. plastic cover below the fan) is covered in oil. My question is what is involved in replacing this hose? I want to fix it asap. Where could I find the hose? and what procedures should I adhere to? Any input on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance-------Ren

Get the braided lines. I did that for my TII and am very happy. Can't say how to install it with car not apart. I put mine in when i was installing the engine.

I am sure you can figure it out.

Also try this previous post:

Just run a search. There are about 70 other posts coming up. Just wanted to get you started.

Want to mention this. You probally should get on that ASAP. If that hose does let go you will have a huge mess. The pressures at cruise are 60psi plus. Imagine that pouring out of a small hole. It will coat everything.
And of course your engine will be without oil and you will have little time to figure it out to shut her off.
