Stoopid freaking rotten godamned oil line is sweating out the pores of the rubber and cloth weave oil ine.....looks like a replacement is needed.....I don't think it can be removed without pulling the tank.

Anyone been able to get up to that nut with the tank in place? Should be the 36mm one ........ (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/headbang.gif)

When I built my /6 conversion I found I could readily source rubber oil lines that work with those fittings by going to the local hydraulic stuff supply store. I have found that even a fairly large one will be happy to help.

Michel,
Do you have a spec on the hose and the name of the place where you found it?

My brother couldn't find one locally and even tried to buy a replacement hose from Porsche. They quoted an outrageous price and never delivered it even after waiting for months.
