1998 oil leaking near radiator

I forgot to mention that you need to wipe it clean first, then monitor the leak.
If the leak is from the O-rings, then get the O-rings from dealer (no aftermarket O-rings).

Very often it leaks from the O-rings first. Then later on, it leaks from the crimped area of the hose.

yes, appreciate info. . PWS pressure lines leak from crimp after about 15 years or so.

Volvo sells these oil cooler lines for about $100/each x2 = $200 or more.

The other way around this is to use generic oil hose, use a dremel tool to cut off the metal crimp.
Re-use the "barb fitting", install generic oil hose, then use new clamps: either Oetiker or regular clamps.
Put 2 clamps on each fitting.

I'm using this as a work vehicle mainly so I need to replace the lines w/new, I can't have this baby leaking out all that good synthetic oil she's getting. I appreciate suggestion thoughhttp://www.matthewsvolvosite.com/forums/postin ... 1&p=357672#
