1983 300D turbo diesel. Could someone tell me how much pressure is in the bottom oil cooler line ? Once they start leaking (where the rubber hose connects to metal) do they drip for awhile ? Or rapidly leak till final failure ? Thanks in advance.

 

Thank You. That's what i thought. I must have cracked it when i changed the oil filter houseing gasket. Old and brittle.

What i meant by cracking, is the hose part of the line on the cooler end. When i took the line off of the filter houseing i took the brakets off of the lines so i could move the lines back out of the way, i should have just loosend them and just moved the lines back just far enough to clear the houseing, but i pushed em to far and cracked the old brittle hose. I found this on ebay, think it's any good ? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...=STRK:MEWAX:IT
