Consumer Description

THE ENGINE OIL COOLER LINES AND THE TRANSMISSION COOLER LINES LEAK AT THE CRIMP WHERE THE RUBBER HOSE AND METAL LINES CONNECT. AFTER DOING RESEARCH ONLINE ABOUT THIS I HAVE DISCOVERED IT IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. SOME PEOPLE HAVE REPLACED THESE LINES MULTIPLE TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THEM LEAK A SHORT WHILE LATER. FOR THOSE OF US WHOSE VEHICLES ARE OUT OF WARRANTY THIS CAN BE VERY COSTLY. I WOULD ALSO THINK THAT TRANSMISSION FLUID AND MOTOR OIL CONTACTING HOT SURFACES LIKE AN EXHAUST POSE A FIRE HAZARD. AT THE VERY LEAST THE LEAKING OIL IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARD. I HAVE PURCHASED OIL COOLER LINES AND AM REPLACING THEM TOMORROW BUT I AM HAVING TROUBLE FINDING TRANSMISSION LINES. *TR
