Re: [diesel_mercedes] Re: WAS: Rear Main Oil Seal leak NOW: Oil Cooler Line moisture

 

Ken Bergsma on YouTube shows how to replace the gasket under the oil filter to stop oil leaks.  I have ask my mechanic if he could do it.  He told me that he would have to remove the oil line to the oil cooler.  That line brakes, 99% of the time when removing the oil filter housing causing the purchase of a new radiator and oil line.

Do any of you folks know if you can just add an after market oil cooler if it brakes?  Where can you install it?

I have seen other rubber reinforced lines "sweat" for whatever reason.
Air conditioning lines, oil cooler lines etc. Unless you actually see
fluid that should be on the inside coming through to the outside I
wouldn't worry too much. If it is actually "oil" on the outside check
to see if it is a drip running down from a fitting. Don't know why
hoses "sweat".
