I must be very unusually or very anal...maybe its my Virgo traits....

But I always check my oil every few days, I always take the time to inspect my engine for new leaks, look under the front end at the suspension.....check hoses and every so often look under the rear end....I know my car is 30 years old and as much as I hate finding things wrong..i always want to know what is wrong....I have a mental list of asap when I get funds to fix and things to fix in the future..

As regards to the oil lines, I believe both can be had online for 150$....

It has also been mentioned a lot that the proper psi hose and two hose clamps at each end can be used to replace the oil cooler rubber line.
