Oil cooling line burst!

512systems · 03-30-2021, 11:46 PM

Hey guys I had just gotten my car back from the shop after reversing it back to stock from a AA level 3 supercharger. The car had upgraded oil cooling lines which I decided to keep on the car. Drove the car home about 10 miles and when I had drove around the block next to my house I noticed a loud hissing sound and pulled over n shut the car off immediately. When I got out the car the driver side wheel was covered in oil and there was a puddle of oil on the road. Has anyone every had this happen or can help me piece together what could've cause this issue?

Not sure why having the upgraded ones would cause an issue?

That line had to be pinched or rubbing against the belt drive or road previously , something maybe the shop should of noticed ?

I just find it hard to believe it just randomly burst

it was likely rubbing on something.

I think 100% it was rubbing. If you look at the steel wires on either side of the hole, they're not long enough to join to the wires on the other side. The hole wasn't caused only by internal hose pressure bursting outwards. The steel was rubbed thru first (hence the reduction of steel material) before it burst. You can also see some darker scuff marks on the lower right hand portion of the hole.

That's my 2 cents with my Sherlock hat on.
