Possible Oil Cooler leaks

[markmartin]

I am getting some leakage near the front of my motor, 98 model with 173k miles, I was told it was probably the oil cooler lines and after inspection, I think it is. Will I need to replace the oil cooler lines? do they simply screw on with fittings on both ends? If they need replacing, where is a good place to get them inexpensively?

Thanks guys, I love this site

Remove them and go to a shop that custom makes hydrolic lines and have them fab up a set. They will last longer than the truck. You could get new ones from the dealer but they will leak again.

Is that what you did? What did it cost you?

thanks for your reply
