Oil Cooler Hoses

[KarmannMarco]

Hi guys.
I just finished a timing belt/water pump/plugs and wires party on my 1996 SR.
After the job was done I noticed I was leaking oil with the engine running. I feared for a poorly installed crank seal (which it isn't)
After a bit of inspecting I noticed the oil was dripping from the oil pressure sender. Valve covers are dry , crank/cam seals are fresh and dry so I figured this sending unit was the culprit. Ordered a new one , installed it and.... drip drip drip....
After wiping down the oil cooler lines real good I noticed one started leaking above the crimp where rubber line meets the crimp.
Bingo!

I see that my local dealer supposably has this part for $62.00.
Has anyone found it elsewere for less ? Is this something that can be made ?

Its #11 on this page in the service manual.

Any hose can be made, simply remove the old one and bring to your local Evco or tractor/hydraulic store.

Yep, I've replaced a couple that way.

$62 is half the price the stealer quoted me recently. I have yet to replace mine. I'm going to use a few wraps of Survival tape and call it a day.
