Oil cooler hose split
Yesterday, for my first outing this year, I cleaned up the engine compartment and headed for a small show 60 miles from home. When I opened the hood, the upper oil cooler hose had split just near the crimp fitting at the cooler end. Oil was seeping out, but hadn't sprayed anywhere yet.
Some electrical tape and gorilla tape got me home with no further leaks.
The PO had replaced the hoses twice in 18,000 miles with original style hose sets from Jerry's. This one was only 4-5 years old.
I just ordered Jerry's braided hoses. I hope they last longer since I drive this car a lot during the non-winter months.
And the AC quit also...... Its always something....
