Hi Scottmarc
I had PIRTEC make some for a GTS about two years ago as they were on back order from Dodge...

Is it leaking from the oil filer housing?????

to the oil cooler ,,, or exchanger.. which ever you call it.

on the ram srt 10 its a common problem .. its a rubber hose which has a metal shroud crimped on

[scottmarc]

are piretec exspensive?????

[V1PER]

They were cheaper than OE and nicer

[scottmarc]

thanks for your imput

[V1PER]

Baz`s way would be the easier route
i did the braided hose thing not cheap.the stock ones do seem to fail.


these fittings are on the oil filter housing and the oil cooler
four in total 7/8th x 14 i think

If your on a budget at the mo,Chuck tator advise me that he has used silicon
around the tube/o ring seal.
you would need to get the lines off and give em a real good degrease.
seems to be the small o ring inside the fitting that give you the prob.



oil does get all over the hose,which makes you think its some where on the hose surface..............................i think
maybe get the hoses back in postion before the silicon has set.??
or replace the inner o rings.
If you go with new made up hoses its job done though.
