Toyota MR2 Message Board - View Single Post - 4A-GE MK1 Engine Oil leak in line btwn filter & cooler

MochaR2 · 12-28-2007, 01:44 AM

I've developed a nasty oil leak somewhere between the bottom of the distributor & the top of the freon compressor. I think it likely is the oil line that runs up from the bottom of the oil filter (hard line) then (hose) down to the oil cooler. But I can't see it to verify that is where it is leaking.
It looks like a real bugger to change that line -- does anybody have any hints on how to reach this line to replace? Do I have to remove the exh manifold? ...or the freon compressor?
Help!!!!
