I recently replaced my radiator and have noticed some oil leaking from where the oil cooler lines attach to the RH side of the rad. I did install all new seals and clamps on the lines when i replaced the rad, so i'm a bit perplexed as to how this could be leaking from this area.

Any ideas?

 

Is it leaking from the Krimp in the line?

 

seemed to be the crimp...i could see oil residue on the lower side of the metal crimps. I'll need to check it out more closely once i notice it again to make sure it's not the hoses.

 

If it is leaking from the crimp, you might just replace the line. I had the same problem and replaced the line after going to several places to see if they could either re-crimp the line, or make me a new hose. The problem is the fitting on the end of the hose is very unusual and cannot be found easily or cheaply.

The hose cost me $103 [:'(] to replace, but no more oil leak. Car is a 95 Turbo with 172K on it.
