Oil line hose connector going to top of oil cooler that is attached to
passenger side of radiator leaks like a sieve... No longer available at
dealer. How can I repair to stop oil leaking down hose and on to
driveway? Any one have any ideas, please? TIA.

I replaced the leaky oil cooler lines on my C900 with ordinary
reinforced hose and clamps. these lines don't run at a very high
pressure and reinforced hose-the kind that you can see a fabric in the
cut end-works fine.

I received an email from Mike that my solution wouldn't work on his
9000. The 900s have a short metal pipe that the hose us crimped onto.
I just cut it off and clamped a new hose on. Perhaps 9000 hoses are
made the same. Perhaps not. I've never owned a 9000.
