Default 98 s70 GLT oil coolant line popped off???

hey guys...while driving my oil line going in by the radiator popped off while driving. also noticed engine was bogging down. popped hood and saw the line off and the air induction(???) had seperated. recooencted air line and car started fine. reattached the oil line and running good. could one have lead to the other? Im figuring air hose caused bogging and caused pressure build up in oil line. at least Im hoping its that. any info would be great. new to Volvo's and Im loving it. better then my Japanese cars. ALOHA!

Not sure if one caused the other but whatever caused you to stop and check the oil leak was a blessing.

Some people put zip ties on those oil line connectors. You may want to do that as a back up.

Thanks....I actually squeezed the clamps tighter so the lips went over both sides of the connectors and then for added strength I put 1/2 inch hose clamps over both of them. Runs like a champ now. Thanks for the advice

sounds like a workable fix but new clamps are around 4 bucks each. Money well spent.
