Default 1990 -Oil Leak O Rings-Hose???
It seems that my oil leak is coming from the oil lines lines that are at the engine block. Would this most likely be the O rings failing or can the hose connection also fail? Any tricks for taking these off? They are in a tight spot( I'm not the smallest guy on my street, if you know what I mean)
Thanks
Frank

More than likely o-rings. The block side is tight but do-able. Be very careful if you get into the cooler side. The hoses tend to take the threads off the cooler when loosened. Then you are into big money.
