OMG, LMFAO, NASA, ASAP, PDQ, FYI, CIA, ...... WTF???

Thanks for the suggestions. I cleaned up the engine ("Purple Power" is magic} and started it up. I checked all the hose connections, oil sensors, etc... nothing; bone dry.

Once the engine warmed up (the aux fans came on) I found a steady "seeping" of oil coming from one of my "new" oil color hoses---- the warm side, right in the middle of the line. Un mistakable seepage.

I noticed that when cold the cooler lines did not feel pressurized, but when warm/hot, they "bulged" up a bit and leaked more--- and this was at idle.

I supposed that under acceleration or higher RPMS, that the leak would be pretty pronounced with heavy oil pressure and create my spattering issue. So, no Vette this weekend.

Question... is the hose system (only two months old) worth a repair?

I like the factory look at ease of fitment, keeping my (repaired) system is preferable, but from what read Jerry's has a system that is rock star quality?

WDYT? (what do you think?)
