Hose End at Left Rear of Engine... what.. why?
Hose End at Left Rear of Engine... what.. why?
So on the ever popular quest of making my FD perfect, I have located a potential area for an oil leak, however I have no clue what this connection entails... so perhaps one of you can elaborate.
Its right underneath the oil pressure sensor on the drivers side of the block, and at first glance it almost looks like one of those quick-disconnect flanges like on the newer BMW's.
So essentially, the question is, What is this line for, how do i yank it off without mangling it?
Thanks so much for all your help.
Below is the replacement part that I found out of pure luck of searching.

It is a cooling line that goes to the heater core. Its supposed to disconnect by depressing the two tabs and pulling like a fuel line. However, when I went to disconnect mine to replace the rubber hose, I sheared the end of it off. I ordered a new adapter and I mangled the old one to get it off.

It appears that it is going to the heater core. So then, I believe that the only potential "oil" leak coming out of there would be out of the oil pressure sending unit (located right above that).
Made of the same plastic that get's sketchy on the AST and radiator end-tanks. I removed it about eight years ago. There's no flare or barb, but the metal nipple is pretty long so I double-clamped it. No issues since.
Make certain the oil your seeing is coming from the sender and not the filter pedestal...or just an artifact from routine oil changes dripping down over time when the filter is removed.

The Sender does look ok, but there is some oil on it, doesnt look super fresh, but doesnt look super old.
I turned the car on last and there was some leak coming down from the back of the engine that ran across the transmission.
