Default Small oil leak!

Folks,

Was working on the 94 850 Turbo tonight, changing the transmission fluid. While under the car, I noticed a small drop or two of fresh oil[]. I traced it back to a small leak at the junction of a metal fitting and a rubber hose. The hose I am talking about looks a lot like a power steering hose, but it connects on one end to the radiator, just under the upper radiator hose, and the other end connects to a small cylinder just below the crankshaft pulley. The oil is coming from the lower part of the hose where the metal fitting attaches to the hose

Can anyone tell me what this hose is, where I can get one, and how hard and expensive it will be to replace.

Many thanks,

Glenn

Forgot to add, I'm planning on changing the timing belt, serpentine belt, and coolant on this car ASAP as the previous owner did not remember when it had last been changed. That said, here is what I plan on buying to do the job.

Timing belt, timing belt idler pulley, timing belt tensioner pulley, timing belt tensioner dampner, water pump, thermostat, upper and lower radiator hoses, both expansion tank hoses, both heater hoses, serpentine belt.

Do you think I missed anything??

Thanks,

Glenn

I would add Oil cooler lines to the list and fix the oil leak while you are at it.

Thanks Tech!

I love the way you answered my questions in a simple and easy to understand statement

I'll add the lines and go from there.

Again, I appreciate the help.

Well... I called the parts department at the dealership today and asked about getting the oil cooler line. They want $93.50 for the line, plus they would have to order it and I would have to drive 30 miles to the dealership to pick it up. Anyone know another source for the line??? Possibly a little cheaper and more convienient (i.e. someone who will ship it to me)

Many Thanks,

Glenn
