Default Well, I've learned a few things last weekend.

If the leak is coming from the engine, do some research before taking sh*t apart Saturday afternoon. It was the oil cooler plastic tube. I had to go to the hardware store to get some PVC pipe ($0.99). I machined grooves on it and put o-rings. It is all well now.

Thats outstanding! So while your machining stuff you wanna port and polish my heads?

I figured youd come up with a 99 cent solution that will probably outlast any OEM part.

Default Where does that sweet little plastic tube go?

I think I am getting some leaking in that area. I will know more when changing the VB with the body pan off this week.

Default Between the oil cooler and the block. Low, on the passenger side.

There's a procedure on replacing them at Audipages, of course.

Thanks. The guy at the hardware store asked me if I need any tip how to use the PVC pipe.
