Today has been a horrible day. I noticed a oil leak yesterday and checked it out today. well from what I could briefly see, it is leaking oil from one of the lines. Seems to be the oil inlet to the oil cooler. I can't tell for sure though. I called the Mazda dealership and they want $180 for it wtf. Well Im not about to pay that much for a damn hose. So what are my options here? I am thinking it could be the oil cooler its self, but don't think so. What type of hose will work for that line. Could I make my own with hose and fittings. Am I better off going to a junk yard for the lines or cooler. If so, what will work with my 87 TII. I am really sad today, cuz I am trying to go down to a big race in my home town, and am running into one problem after another. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I am thinking of giving up on my car for a while, so please change my mind with some good news.
Thanks

Oh yeah how do I get to the oil cooler and the lines? Do I need to remove that plastic crap on the bottom of the car?
