Common problem. Replace. Duh.

Yea, tons of posts on here about that issue. Hoses leak at the connectors. You need to buy some new form fitted hoses, most auto parts stores have em, very common problem.

A local mechanic quoted me $300.00 for the job. I have tried ordering the parts at a parts store. They tell me they aren't available due to the "pressure" fittings on the hoses. What are "form fitted" hoses?

The oil lines are pretty much a dealer item only... Gasket kit though can be bought for about 2 bux at advance autoparts though... The hoses going from to the rad from the remote oil filter are about 40 bux at the dealer, and the ones going to the engine are about 60.00. You can do the change yourself, pretty easy..

no no no people. This is a common problem I just replaced mine. Don't go to the dealer this is a simple job maybe takes an hour to finish. The part you need is made by dorman. The two part numbers are 625-100 and 625-001 depending on which set your replacing. most likely it will be the 625-100. if you do a google for "dorman oil cooler lines" you can see what I'm talking about. I went to my local carquest auto parts store and got them for around 30 bucks. I'm telling you seriously go get them you'll save time and money.

I had just found a 95 Blazer with this problem. The lady thought her engine was blown so I offered her $500 cash and took it home to find a leaky line.

Hope its this line and not a $1700 motor.

looks like its time for a new engine. I replaced the oil cooler line and leaks stopped so now it's time to replace this engine. Anyone need spare 4.3 parts looks like im gonna have some extras when I put my new one in.

Hey thanks for this time and money saving post, was wondering how your lines have held up after this long? Kinda curious as to their durability. thanks again.

Whoa, two year bump.

a friend of mine replaced the lines on his 95. he said it took about 2hrs and said he had trouble with the line that connects to the engine block. these things sound like a bitch to replace. by the way, does anyone have the part# for the gasket kit (includes the gasket and o-rings for the remote oil filter) 2 of my o-rings at the filter drip oil if its parked for over an hr.

rlith · 01-19-2006, 07:55 AM

they're crush washers not o-rings... You can get them at the dealer for 2 bux...

As for the rear line, an extention and a swivel makes easy work of it.

ZL1power69 · 01-19-2006, 12:08 PM

someone had mentioned before that there is a gasket kit at advanced auto parts that includes the gaskets for the lines attaching to the oil filter, and these crush washers. wanted to know if anyone knew the part # for them? as far as i can tell the lines them selves are not leaking, just the crush washers. With almost 204,000 miles and not knowing all previous maintanence records, the lines may be going up soon.
