Oil!!!!

['89sdimeblazer]

On my '89 s10 blazer it has the oil filter mounted right under the hood above the wheel and has 2 lines that run to the engine. on of them has sprung a leak and as far as i no they dont sell a replacement for this at an auto shop.... Has n e one experienced similar problems or n e suggestions as to wat i shouldb do???

I just tried a parts store in my area for these oil lines and was told this is a dealer part, and this parts store almost always has what I need. Is the leak from the hose, where the hose connects with the threaded connection, or between the threaded connection and the filter mount?

I had the same problem on me 92 S-10 Blazer and what had happened was one of the o-rings blew. I looked everywhere for new o-rings(no success) and then new lines. Only place that had the lines was the dealer and they wanted almost $200! i'm a cheap bastard sometimes so remembering that my brothers 96 nissan truck engine calls for a gasket maker rather then gaskets for most of the components on his engine, i thought i would give it a try. I used permatex gasket maker on both oil lines and it has been over 4 years......still no leaks! I kept the old o-rings on the lines obviously and then applied gasket maker around the edge of the o-rings. Let it dry real well and hopefully if you try it, it will work for you like it worked for me. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!

Some auto parts stores, Fairfax Auto near me, do have a large selection of o-rings so if thats your problem you can try to find a new one first.
