Coolant lines

Happy Holidays

I started to notice a leak today coming from the tee by the oil filter. After reading using the search i found that it is a coolant line.

My question is is there a metal tee in the junction that splits into 3 lines?

Either or the coolant line will be replaced using the part numbers found in previous thread.

Just asking before tearing into this portion of the project.

it looks similiar to the other hard coolant line on the other side of the engine under the intercooler. it's one 5/8" hard line with a 1/4" barb on it. if you get under the car and shine a light up at it, you should be able to see what i'm talking about. it's a booger to get to...

i saw these on eBay the other day...

Thanks pete.

I have not taken mine apart yet. Where the two other lines split from this line, is that apart of the steel line or is that a tee off from it?


One more thing.

on forcrd4 website pete, are you talking about the waterline hose kit or the oil cooler to heater core line?

Ok thanks pete.


I have been doing searches but no straight answers.

I know someone has had to replace this line.
