Radiator oil feed help please

[Fully]

What is the oil going into the bottom of the radiator? Redish colour.
Anyone know what pressure it is at?
So I can do a pressure test on it.

Anyway I found the rubber hose on the drivers side feed was split in about 3 places, its only about 90mm long.
I am not sure if its just the rubber pipe that has spayed a heap of oil onto the radiator, to simulate a leak on there as well.

is it a auto??? if so, then replace the lot with a front mount transmission cooler...

is is slipping out of gear?

[Fully]

You got the wrong place mate.
The radiator bottom tank has two oil feeds, one just above the cross member, the other next to the radiator drain screw.

It was driven fine. I stopped up the drive and come back about 10 minutes later to find a puddle of oil under it.

That's definintely the transmission cooling line, pretty high pressure when running but doesn't retain it once the car has had time to settle after switching off. Use a high pressue hose suitable for oils when replacing it.

Yea that is the transmission line, no idea what the pressure is.

if you want one of those pipes i might have one in the back garden doing nothing i will double check.

you can have it for postage cost.

let me know exactly which pipes you need and will hunt them out tomorrow. I can't guarantee i have all the pipes but i will check them out for you.

Let me know

Does anyone now the size of these pipes? I'm changing my radiator this weekend & I may as well change these while I'm at it.

[Davezj]

Sorry fully, just realised you in New Zealand so my offer is not very good!

be different if you were uk based. The good intention was there.

8 or 10mm ID, there not very large

I might have some of these lying around Shane. We'd need to search through the lock up to find them.

8mm ID 15mm OD for the rubber.

Thanks for the replys guys =)

I have sourced them through my work @$2.90 Per meter. Oil hose rated from -40 deg - 100 deg C @ 300psi.

So funny!

100C might be a bit too cold, someone in the UK found their trans temp reached 120 to 130C sometimes (I think on a track though)

In normal driving it will be around 100C though which may be ok for a short period of time but I wouldn't trust it as a long term fix.

like i said.. get a new kit with a cooler.. this will also allow you to get a alloy 45mm radiator in the future. kits sell for $100 new on TM. will also insure cooler trans temps. and extra bling. radiators are $280.

LMAO - that spec was wrong
All sorted now thanks for to you for offering me the parts, you two are Legends =)
