Hi Phill,

I hope you get your brake problem fixed soon and keep on dieseling.

The motor mount failure is not the only factor causing the belt to cut the hose. Each car is different. The tension of the PS belt, the position of the PS pump, and position of the AC compression are also the factors changing the gap between the PS belt and the oil hose.

I would change the oil hoses if they leak since the oil pressure is very high at highway speed. Are you trying to change the oil hoses yourself? To change the hoses, you need to unbolt the motor mount. It is the right time to change the motor mount too.
