I have a ton of oil build up in the left front wheel well, on the left front shock, etc. None on the right side.It definitely looks like oil. I suspect the oil cooler lines are leaking. Has anyone else had their original oil cooler lines leak? Oh, it's an 87 base. Thanks for any replies.

 

Yeah, I've had my stock line burst, sprayed oil all over the engine bay. It happens, get new ones.

 

Just take your old ones to a hydraulic shop and have them replace the hose part and reuse your old fittings.

 

its common. get new ones.

 

u can always go ss oil lines

 

ok, yeah i guess i'll get some new ones. ive seen some nice stainless ones on mazdatrix. anybody use these?

 

could it possibly be your strut leaking oil. i've had struts on another vehicle blown that had oily stuff in the wheel well. just a thought.

 

i bought the ss line kit but didn't put it on yet since my engine isn't ready to go yet, but it looks nice

 

+1, it makes a mess.

 

Does any one have the specs for the SS lines? like what AN parts should i buy to make my own?

 

buy new ones from corksport... lots of people use them and they are so so priced
