my 94 960 is leaking a small amount of oil on the oil cooler coolant hoses right below the crank balancer.i've found a leak coming from the oil separator and hope this is where the oil is coming from,it would have to migrate forward to reach the hoses.i've been searching for a couple weeks now trying to find an oil resistant hose.the I.D. of the hose is 9/16's(15mm).i've finally found a possible replacement.the problem is the hose i've gotten is 1/2in (12mm)I.D.,impossible to find the correct size.
this is a silicone hose used on semi engines and i feel that the slight stretch will not affect it's performance.it's a 2 part hose,the inside is red and the outside blue.i know it's easy to say just stop the oil leak,but i've got to find it 1st.i'm hoping that the separator box will cure it,but if it doesn't it's got to be coming from the crank/oil pump seal.that repair will be more involved and the silicone hoses will work in the meantime.going to do the separator box seals 1st.the oil on the regular hoses causes them to swell and i may be making a 2000 mile drive soon.
