Hello,

Has anyone ever heard of a failure in the flex oil line that connects the oil 
pressure gauge?

Yesterday morning I noticed a puddle under the TR4 project and thought it was 
gas but it turned out to be oil and then I looked under and there was about a 
quart on the floor.

The failure turned out to be the flex line!

I started the engine and it just flowed like the connection was loose.

Anyway, I replaced the line with a spare for now but will be ordering new ones 
for the 3 and 4.

I never thought to replace this line since the one in the 3 is most likely 
original.


Bob
