One of my oil cooler lines is leaking pretty badly. About a quart every 5 days. I cant figure out which line is leaking beacuse they are both covered in oil. My question is: are the lines easily punctured? Or do you think it is lose? If I have to replace one of the lines...which line is the return line and which is the feed line? TIA

Take a rag and wipe the lines down....then watch to see where it comes from. I would fire up the car and let it run for a minute or 2 and just watch. But my suggestion to you is if it is the lines, get new ones dont half ass it or you will one day end up with a spun bearing because of no oil ;) I would reccomend doing ss lines with -an fittings if you decide to spend some cash.

good luck
