oil cooler lines leak at radiator

anyone know where to get new seals for the lines at the rad?

If I remember correctly, they are flanged fittings, no "seal" to buy.

these def had a seal on them

If they are like the little o-ring seals for the line connection to the oil filter adapter, I got replacements for mine at ACE hardware store. Find a hardware store that sells o-rings and they should have the size you need.

do they leak AT the radiator or where the hard line turns into rubber?   The lines that screw into the radiator are flared fittings - no o-ring.   Just tighten them until they stop leaking.

If htey leak at the metal -> rubber joint like mine did, cut the crimp off (slice both sides and pry it apart) then use a pair of real hose clamps (get them at NAPA - do NOT use Advance or Autozone stuff), and reclamp.  NAPA also carries replacement oil cooler line hose (1/2" I think) rated for 400psi that'll work.

at the radiator . I stopped at harbor freight and got some oring kits. so ill try that and some Teflon tape

Something isn't right here. I JUST rebuilt my oil cooler lines a month ago so I'm well familiarized with these lines. The hard line has flared ends - no o-rings or teflon tape required. Post up some pics.

Yeah. I've replaced both of mine as well on a TBI car like you've got - no o-rings or anything here either.

well without the orings I can watch the oil pour out a 10mm washer did the trick
