ok yesterday i had to replace my radiator. so as i go to take the bottom bolts off i notice that their some oil on the oil cooler lines. and it looks like the top line is leakin cause theirs like burnt oil drimping down from the oil cooler. does it look like the lines are broken or is it the oil cooler? anyone know how much the oil cooler and the lines are? i put a little of rdv around the bottom bolt to stop it leakin a little.

 

another angle of it. also i asked this cause everytime i check the oil its missin a little. theirs no oil marks on the ground either.

 

I doesn't look that bad in the picture.

If you don't see any on the ground, I wouldn't worry about it. They often leak where the fitting meets the cooler. It's no big deal. You said whenever you check the oil its missing a little... You know its supposed to use oil...

The lines are like a couple three hundred bucks, but chances are, its just leakin from where the conector meets the cooler. You might try replacing the copper washers that sit between the Banjo fitting and the cooler and retorque-ing the bolts to spec...

 

You need to clean the area thoroughly and drive it around. Might be the line, might be a crack in the oil cooler.

 

Are cars live on the oil coolers,,and for me,,when i check the oil,and
it keeps going lower,and lower,,i hate that,i understand the rotory uses
oil,,but when it comes to the oil system don't mess around,,get on it,
because it won't go away,it'll just get worse,on my 12a my cooler said
by-by,the NEW cooler was $ 634.70 from mazdatrix,and it's worth it
to get NEW hoses to,those were $ 101.00 for S.S. braided..i know,,
a lot of money,,car runs better,cooler,better oil P.S.I.
