probably 5 k. miles ago i replaced the stock oil cooler hose spring clamps on my .09t/g's . and now its leaking eventhough i used NAPA'S high-tach sealant
on the fitting. only one is leaking, so even though i hate the adal (screw ) clamps. i guess thats the best choice. i used the PEX clamps on the oil cooler but i don't have enough room to get the retchet in that area.
so everyone with stock sprink clamps i suggest you check & see if you can move the oil cooler hose by hand.
