Oil line replacement ...

[sathu]

Hi guys, my car recently started spitting out oils after driving for a while when it is park. I went down there to check to see if the camshaft oil seal that I changed two month ago broke or something but it turn out that the oil is coming out from all the old oil line. I squeze the braided line that is cover with the tube and the oil come out. The connection point on most of the oil line down there is leaking slowly. I think it leak more at 35-40psi when I drive on freeway.

Has anyone changed their oil line before and how many feet of 3/8" tubing is needed to replace all those 14yrs oil worned out oil line?

I have pondered changing these myself as my braids are becoming a bit frazzled at the ends. I'm way less ambitious than you seem to be, so I'd say take a piece of string and run it along the lines then measure the string. And always add a foot or so just in case-then let me know!

I am changing out mine when i do the Oil filter relocation.... Might be the answer for you as well.

When I did mine, I purchased about 7 feet. Sure, I had some left over, but I always find a use for left over tubing later.
