My friend was driving my car because i had to pick up another vehicle. Then all of the sudden i see him pull over, i'm like $hit!

I back up and find oil sprayed all over the IC and leaking out the front. It appears that one of the oil lines going to the oil cooler failed.

Luckily i have an oil pressure gauge and the dummy oil light still hooked up. Once he saw the oil light and no pressure he turned the car off immediately.

Car is running Mobile1 synthetic.

Here is a pic of the line.




Car will be towed to my mechanic that also installed the turbo and he will prob put an elbow (90 degree) to relieve the stress on that line. That is why i suspect the line failed.

 

yea a 90 should do it, that looks like a tight radius for that oil line

 

Did the line fail or did it just pop off of the adaptor?? I would go with a braided hose if you can.

 

the line actually ripped down the side. thus why i say it failed.

 

definitely braided. 750psi!

 

looks like that honda just had food poisioning! LOL. I'd like to know about your oil cooler if that's possible

 

yeah, looks like your car puked.

 

Those push on hoses are really good. They're a bitch to pull back out. If you redo it, use a 90deg like what BlownAP said and use clamps for the push-on hoses.... its specially made clamps and pliers for those type of hoses.

Dang Simon, looks like your car puked!
