Title: Another Oil Leak
Post by: daveh on January 29, 2005, 21:02:31: Anyone know where I can get oil cooler feed pipes apart from the main dealer? They are leaking where the flexible part is connected to the solid pipe. It seems to be a compression fit of some kind that has rusted. Have looked on Paddock and Rimmer but cant see them listed........ Thanks if you can help.

All the unions are a standard of some sort and with a little bit of fiddling aroound you could replace the whole lot with superior components. Just remember the exposed steel pipe is a cooling surface for the fluid and should be at least as long as before.

they can make up hydraulic hoses(which is all they are)it's not uncommon
for hoses to fail near to wear the connectors are swaged on
