Oil leak: Dealer says it's the oil cooler seal??????

[xRide]

I wanted to resurrect this thread. One of my cooler pipe is leaking oil through the metal connection that connects the rubber piece of the entire unit.

Part number 1 is leaking. and its leaking at one of those tabs that the number 1 in in between.

is replacing the pipe itself an easy job?

If the leak is only where the hose meets the metal tube you might be able to crimp it tighter with a cable clamp or something similar.

The actual clamp rotted out that crimps on to the rubber part. I've never seen anything like that.
