I dont know about anyone else, but have othes had problems with leaky oil lines to the oil cooler on their FC's. I have an 87 non turbo and iv replaced the oil lines twice now and its leaking again. Granted each time they were used but, it just seems that when i do its not too long till it starts to leak again. Nothin serious, just anoying, you know, little drops on the driveway. My pressure is normal, and i dont have gas in the oil so do these lines just fail at a certian age or have i just had some bad luck. I also would like to know of any suggestions of where to get NEW lines for cheap, either new lines, or places that could rebuild the lines.

 

I've never had an N/A before or worked on them.
I didnt know they had Oil Coolers.

Anyway, yeh, i had Oil Cooler lines problem before. I bought New Ones, although I like those SS braided lines with the AN fittings.

I think FC3SPRO.COM or 1300CC.COM have a "DIY" Oil Cooler Lines for cheap.

Ahh, Here it is CHEAP OIL COOLER LINES

 

www.mazdatrix.com and www.racingbeat.com both have new SS oil lines.

someone had put ss lines with the an fittings on mine before i bought it and didn't put the right adapters on and use some sealant

 

try checking around your area for a hose shop, they should be able to rebuild the lines relatively cheaply and use some heavy duty hose that should last a good long while. you may just be having a leaky adapter at the oil cooler itself or an crush washer that has seen better days, try tightening up/replacing the harware as well to prevent any issues such as this.

 

A related thread for a little while ago. It seems hydralic lines are the way to go. Also you might need to tighten the **** out of the lines. My new lines seeped a bit at the fittings, I guess a "One hand tighten" wasn't quite enough. The "One grunt tighten" however did the trick.
