Winnipeg,
What's this line called? I believe its running to my turbo. Could be wrong, it carries oil.
Turbo oil feed line? I'm going to get a new one as there's a gash in the side of it. I don't want to order the wrong thing. Anyone recommend one to get? Online stores? The cars mostly stock and should be staying that way. Stock turbo.

This morning I started my car, went inside to grab a couple things then came back out and found oil all over the garage floor, a good 3-4 litres. I almost shit the bed then instantly jumped for the keys. I think the motors still fine though. I also just changed the oil the day before, that's $50 worth of brand new Mobil1 on the ground.
Don't mind that hack job of a oil pan heater, it was there when I bought the car. Works well.

I dumped some new oil in it and started it for 1 second and just watch oil squirt from the line.
Also should point out, cars a 4G63 1997 GST Spyder with around 85,000 Miles.

Right now, I plan to cut it and splice in a plastic line with some hose clamps since its going into storage as the snows starting to fly up here in Canada.

that would appear to be your turbo oil feed line...how did you manage to get that thing cut? Looks like its been messed with before. Don't move that car anywhere before you get that thing fixed, you'll burn out the turbo and your engine. I dont have the part number but you could always get steel braided lines if its in your budget.
 
DSM Graveyard - Your #1 Source for DSM Parts!
Thedsmgraveyard.com all the factory oil feed lines. I think the 3rd one down is the one you need.
Also, this website is awesome for factory replacement parts, sometimes call for an even better deal.
Call and ask them for sure 269-226-4g63 since there is no pics on their site, and I personally don't own that model you have
 
sorry for double post, but the one i've listed is like 25 bucks, you could buy both lines for under 50. replace one, replace both...always how i look at it. Will save you a motor someday..LOL
