Massive oil leak?

[jakestg]

Hello,

I worked on my alternator last night and I saw this line, kind of looked line a power steering line but it was definitely damaged and leaking oil. It's on the passenger side and hangs low. Anyone know what this is called?

Well a picture would be nice, but better yet what kind of vehicle are talking about.

How about giving some information about yourself and your vehicle, besides I'm from the United States. That's lame.

I'm betting that it's the ion flux line for the dilithium crystals.

Oil cooler. Mine leaks too. Or the dilithium crystals. Could go either way really

Oops my apologies, I was in a hurry when posting. 1997 Montero SR. I do believe its the oil cooler now because it looks like it is a common issue. Do they even make that part anymore?

Not sure, though I would like to fix mine too. I haven't yet, but I plan on tearing apart my front end to do the timing belt and water pump soon, so that will be a good time to see what is causing the problem.
