I've developed a leak at the oil pressure sender. However, I have a dual sender and a hose that goes from the sender to the location where the stock oil pressure switch screws into the case.
I'm guessing I need to get a new hose. Where do I get one of these with the correct threads for the sender switch location?

I'm also going to replace my oil cooler seals while I'm at it. Is there any difference between brands of oil cooler seals? One better than another?

For real? No mods to it, just plug and play?

I used AA's "kit": http://www.autoatlanta.com/Porsche-Oil-Pre...PN-B150752.html

Not recommending it necessarily as it's not really a great value (it is AA after all), but it did work plug and play and I was kind of in a rush at the time to get something in place.

Oooooh man that's pricey! The braided SS does look good though.

I'm pretty sure I bought mine from PP. But I like the detail at Type 4 stating that there are two thicknesses.

I was only curious as far as quality, but now I'm confused. When I did these on my old car, both were the same thickness. Is the T4 store indicating that you're supposed to use one of each thickness?
Anyone with the Tangerine Remote Oil Cooler Takeoff kit want to chime in as to which they used?

Also I'm surprised 914rubber doesn't make these. Unless I missed them, but I looked through the entire site.

I need the answer as well. I have the tangerine racing block off plate and was about to buy a set of seals from PP.
There is one set that is $$ and the other cheaper.
Was planning on getting one set of each.

As for the:

"Where do I get one of these with the correct threads for the sender switch location?"

I don't want to restart that argument, but there are some that believe that thread is actually metric.

I used a 10mm metric thread adapter to switch to 1/8NPT to screw my grease gun hose into.
You can see the adapter. It is the brass piece that is barely visible above the tin:
(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/i366.photobucket.com-10819-1450036163.1.jpg)

I believe this is the adapter I ordered:
https://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productde....asp?RecID=1832

Most just thread the grease gun hose 3/8" NPT right into the case and call it good.

For some VW applications there are thick and thin seals depending on the case/cooler/upright adapter. Upper/lower most likely refers to something there. T4's use two of the thin seals. Pelicans choice is aftermarket or Genuine Porsche, same size, much different price.
I've seen grease gun hose failures enough times to never use one again. They collapse internally, completely restricting flow and indicate no pressure when there is and pressure when there isn't. Grease gun and paintball hoses were never intended to take the heat seen in engine compartments.

I went to a Brake/Hydraulic hose Shop that makes any hose any size with any fittings for $30 in 5 minutes.

That's interesting because the leak began after the first long distance trip I took with the car. 4+ hour drive, with a lot of 75mph+ sections. Longest sustained high speed driving I'd ever done with the car. It probably couldn't take the heat for that long. I did notice strange fluctuations in the readings on the oil pressure gauge during the drive - it would drop a few psi at times and then come back up. Likely the hose collapsing internally as you mentioned.

So then what's the best solution? Brake/hydraulic hose, as Bleyseng said?

I did come across that thread while searching earlier. Let's not go down that road again (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)

How's that working out? Any issues with it? Care to share the name of the shop? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

One thing when using a rubber hose is don't forget you will have to ground out the sender.

Chris Foley/Tangerine Racing sells a remote-mount hose; that's what I'm running in both my cars.

1982 928 rear caliper flex line. Bought one at O Reily for about $20 and it was Ate brand. I would not use the grease gun hose. probably not made for the temp it will see in the engine bay.

Where is it on Tangerine's site? Maybe I'm blind, but I'm not finding it.
