Engine Oil Lines leaking

[Carder09]

Well, I believe that they are the oil lines running from the bottom to the lower left portion of the radiator, was covered in black muck and I originally thought it was transmission lines but the tranny fluid is perfect, I recently noticed that I have been losing a good amount of oil lately, the other day, I had a check engine oil level come on the DIC and I freaked out lol, added a quart and went on my way, want to change the oil this weekend but if these lines are leaking then I want to change them, any input if these are indeed the oil lines and if there is a simple fix rather than replacing both the lines since its about $75 for new lines that I have to order online.

This was one of the issues in my old truck which i traded it in when they were getting bad. very common problem from what i hear. Its more of a seeping where the rubber connects to the metal.

[Carder09]

Yeah, it looks like that is what it is doing, but I went ahead and wiped it down with a rag and I'll see if it starts to collect again.

VERY common on the oil, and tranny lines...............

Those crimps on the lines are just crap

what was happening to mine was the oil would seep and blow back as i drove and collect on chassis. Then when it got thick enough would drip in driveway. Drove me nuts for over 2 years. I finally put some of the oil leak finder stuff in there and traced it back to the lines with a blacklight.

thats a goooood idearrrr !!!!!

So I can not find this part anywhere, it may come down to calling the dealership, any suggestions?

rockauto.com carries them

[Carder09]

I looked up the original part number, or at least AC Delco's and it shows that its only compatible with the flex fuel vin V model, can this work with my model which is not flex fuel and vin T? I'm not sure if it matters but want to make sure since no auto parts store has the hoses and I would like to get this fixed asap.

I looked it up on one of the GM parts sites and the used that number on rockauto. I would think they would be the same. Z and T same block. Have you checked a local NAPA. I know they have carried them in the past.

 

I just repair them by cutting the crimp. Replacing the hose and crimping again.
