Oil in A/C Hose!?
Front thingy = oil cooler
Middle thingy = A/C Condenser?
Back thingy = Radiator
Now.....the top line/hose from the middle grill thingy is spilling mad oil.
Everyone tells me that's the A/C hose....
But should that hose even transfer oil?
Note: I'm losing oil pressure as this happens and I have to refill the oil reserve.

If oil pressure is being affected, you're looking at the oil cooler. There is a large line on the driverside top, and another on the side. They'll have banjo fittings. Replacements: http://www.corksport.com/corksport-s...s-for-rx7.html.
The A/C system is unrelated to the engine oil.

Thank you so much for the reassurance, instead of giving it to a shop i went ahead and tested it once more with the battery relocated and felt the spill coming from a hole in the oil cooler line that DEFLECTED onto the a/c hose....which made it look like it was spilling from the a/c hose.
Heres a vid of me finding that out!
