Leaky Oil Lines

Post by tylka »

My 94 850 Turbo is leaking small amounts of oil when I park it. The only place I have noticed with a quick look where the oil was coming from is some oil lines that seem to go to the cooler? I think they are oil lines, haven't had much time to check lately. They are on the passenger side near the front of the motor. There are two lines side by side and it seems that maybe the metal couplers have become leaky over time. Does anybody know where I might be able to purchase these lines, or will I have to go to the dealer? I checked some online sites, but wasn't sure where all to go. Thanks.

You might want to call a dealers' parts dept. and ask about these lines. I know what you're talking about, but don't know what they carry. Oil would seem to be the only possibility.

If you need something for them, it's probably just a gasket or o-ring.

A Haynes or Chilton's manual would identify those lines also... sorry, don't have mine here.
