I have been having oil leaks at both fittings of the stock oil cooler and cant figure it out. I checked the O ring at one side and it appears to be in good shape. I run shell rotella 15w-40, is it possible that the oil is getting to hot and the viscosity gets to thin causing the leaks?

Also I bought +2 a arms and need +2 brake lines. Can I use the 2 line race style lines with a stock master cylinder? What brands are good?

THANKS

Just cause the o-ring looks good it might be shrunk. They are cheap to change, do it and see what happens.

The stock lines will work fine.
I agree on changing the o ring.

to run the dual hoses you just need a dual hose bolt for them. if you got the lines together it should have came with one to do it with. I dont even know where to start looking for one lol. my vote on the orings is that they have shrunk or that they have fractures in them that are causing the leaking. I would def replace them and see how it does. steve

something like what is in the middle of this kit.

it should have 2 sets of holes instead of 1 to let the fluid through to both lines. steve

Thanks for all of the help. I just ordered a set of Speedline'z brake lines today.

Also my ex is a 99 so maybe that is what the oil leaks are all about.
