Hello all,

Noticed a leak today on my 850 Turbo, took some pics and attached them, can you all please tell me which line this is and is it easy to replace? Thanks for any input.

I had a leak in that line too. I replaced both lines with new OEM parts and wrote it up here:

Others have reported good success and great savings by building up their own lines with hose clamps or getting the crimps redone.

For Oil Cooler Lines DIY, there are certain tricks/tips, I posted them below (note you need new rectagular seal, new Green O-rings at tstat area, and new O-rings at the cooler area.
Don't forget that the metal clips only fit one way at the cooler! Also use a screw-type clamp to secure the metal clip, otherwise it can become disconnected: all oil will be lost!!!
