braided oil line
« on: May 02, 2012, 01:59:06 AM »
I have a small leak coming from one of my steel braided oil lines.  Its leaking where the line meets the fitting.  Does anyone know where I can either buy a new one or how to fix what I have?  I really don't want used in fear of having the same problem.. Thanks

Another option is to take it into a local hydraulic line shop...have them create new hoses for you using the old fittings, if you got that route make sure they get that cant/angle on your line right.
