My First Oil Leak. But what Is It?? 850 1994

posted by  someone claiming to be pssstue on  Tue Jan 28 13:52 CST 2003 [RELATED]

And for some reason I don't think it will be my last. Had 3 drips per night for a couple of days so i took the plastic front skid plate off to look around. There seems to be oil coming from the passenger side of the radiator where the intercoller links up (not the line but a rectangular aluminum piece) and the drips are coming from the lower radiator hose (??, assuming that's what the hose is?) slightly off-center to the drivers-side. The hose clamp was pretty damn tight and I don't know what to do. I haven't ever had to diagnose an oil leak. Do i just replace the hose (if so what is it) or do I replace just the gasket inside, or am I looking at a larger problem? oh, and what about the left side? what the he// is the conection over there to be leaking???? Sorry about all the layman terminology, couldn't find in Haynes. Thanks in advance. -Stu '94 854 105k mi.
