Oil leak

[RavenMaster]

So I did an oil change the other day, and it wa fine for 2 days, now my cfar is leaking oil, bad enough it was probably about a quarter of a quart last night and this morning its leaked at least that. The leak is occuring on the passenger side on the other side of the front tire, I looked from above and cant see where its leaking from at all.
At first I thought it was from the oil filter because the leak seems to be coming from that area, but nope oil filter is clean on the outside and is securely in there.
I looked from the bottom and i see that i have oil sitting on my V joint for the suspension, any ideas on what this leak is from?

Ill check that too. I really, really hope it aint that. Its a pain in the arse to reach anything in that area.

Sure enough its the oil cooler lines, is there anything I can do to slow down or stop the leak without replacing the whole line? I need a quick fix for at least a week....

YES!!!!!!

Ravenmaster: The oil cooler lines are replaceable without removing anything else. Just need to jack it up, go from underneath, don't need to even open the hood, maybe just for light. The ones from the oil pan and oil filter housing to the set of hard lines are $60 from the dealer and a waste of money imho. Just use (i think its 3/8" ID hose, do a search, it's here) automatic transmission hose. I have a pair of old ones sitting around if you go that route and need to know how long the stockers are without removing yours = no down time.

Yup, I picked up new hose from the local auto parts shop, they had it on a roll, cost me less than $10.

Thanks guys
How much hose should i get, im going to replace both lines? and it is 3/8"?

On another note at least the lines are right next to each other....

3/8" inside diameter (ID)

I just measured them, they are roughly 21" long each.
