Hello, I have an oil leak and I need some help identifing it and how to replace it. I am new with porsches and I need a little help with my problem. I have paid for my membership, but I won't get it activated until probably tomorrow. So until then here is a pic of it on photobucket. http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...gAnch=imgAnch1

So if anyone can tell me what it is called or how to get another and how to replace it would help me a lot...Thanks

That looks like the compression fitting for your automatic tranny fluid lines are starting to leak (it looks like its seaping really).

I am not sure the best route to fix that. If its anything like the fuel lines, cut the compression fitting off and you can get some generic hose with similar diameter and use hose clamps or t-bolt clamps. The only thing i would be slightly worried about is whether the hard pipe has a barbed end or not.

Those lines run from the transmission up to the radiator to help cool the fluid.

Thanks for the reply. Here are two more pics of the hose and the crack. The first pic shows the whole hose http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...gAnch=imgAnch2 the second shows the crack http://s48.photobucket.com/albums/f2...gAnch=imgAnch1

Thanks for the help so far...

The problem with cutting and replacing that hose is going to be the fittings that screw into the radiator. I figure you may be able to reuse them by cutting them out...but dont quote me on that.

With any luck, if you cut the compression fitting off on the radiator side, the threaded portion that screws into the radiator will be barbed also.
