If its the hard line running from the water neck to the oil cooler, you can just replace it with a soft hose. You may want to wrap it in some split loom tubing though to keep the hose protected from touching the turbo housing.

it's underneath the pump, like in the front bumper area. the piece is connected to the bottom of the pump. where the two lines come out. well one in, one out.

The oil pump is no where near the front bumper. RTFM!!! Rubber hose will work fine. Fix it.

drew what year? if you got a 90 the two big lines are oil lines that goto a front mounted oil cooler. all others use a water cooler for oil if you are on the side that your filter is on its just a piece of coolant line. if you got a 90...its not just a piece of rubber..youll need to find a way to splice or get a new lin that goes to the cooler.

Dont Ever worry bout asking a question.
I should delete that post.

You should always ask if you're not sure about something. I guess some people have forgotten that the purpose of posting a reply to a cry for help is to help.........oh well, if you need help Drew, I'm off on Tuesday, I can help you.

it's a 90, and it's the part goin to the front mount cooler. the car doesn't run rite now, and the oil leak is too big to even try to start it.

Hey, I have no problems with people asking questions, but the kid knows cars, I expect a little more out of him, that's all. Kid drives a freaking dragster, has a 12 sec 2g, and has been around cars for a long time. It's not like he's new to motors, here. That's all I was saying.

that's what i'm thinkin, but my dad doesn't think it'd hold, since the line has a lil pressure, but i'm gonna try. we've got some anyway.
