So with my car there is a lot of oil on the front of the engine(The car is a 1990 s5 n/a.). Now the dipstick shows that the engine isn't loosing any oil but on my garage floor there is oil. I got some pictures of where the oil is, now my question is what is the most common thing to leak on the front of these engines?(13b). Also it seems that the fan/belts are spitting the oil allover the place if that helps.




Thanks in advance.

 

check your oil cooler lines, thats probably it

 

Ok so it is the oil cooler lines. Now next step: Where can I buy them for a reasonable price?

 

your best bet is to get ss ones, either make them or racing beat sells them. someone on the forum might also have a set for sale

 

I don't know what's available at your location but where I live there is a hose shop (Amazon Hose) that made mine for cheap. Try a custom hose house if you can find one. All they need is the old fittings and they can match them real easy.

 

I am gonna get them made at a hyrdralic shop. Now I am just wondering do I just bring them the lines and tell them to remake them? Will they give me new fittings and everything?
