G'day folks,
Since I did an oil change on my AV the other day, I've noticed that I've been leaving oil spots in parking spaces wherever I go.
Today, I checked the oil filter to see if it loosened, and it's fine.
I then used foaming engine cleaner to degrease the whole underside of the front end, as it was a greasy oily mess.
Powerwashed the crap out of it, then went for a 20 minute drive.
Put the AV back on ramps, and looked again.
The only place I can see oil coming out is from the crimps on the oil cooler lines.
Everything else is as dry as a bone, as far as I can tell.
Regarding oil cooler lines, anyone have any suggestions as to where I could order them from?
I looked at RockAuto, and found this:

Which one should I go with? Would the roll of rubber hose work ok?
Thanks for any ideas.
