951 oil line question
I am finishing up some maintenance on my 951 and noticed the oil line that runs from the top of the oil filter/relief valve housing has an odd shaped 90 degree bend.
The oil line attaches to the adapter with a 90 degree hard bend before the hose becomes flex, the 90 degree bend looks like it was somewhat flattened from the rear side, it is definitely not round and concentric as normal 90 degree oil lines/AN lines are formed.
The odd shape isnt enough to restrict oil flow very much, if at all, but now I wonder if that hard section may have been 'whacked' and may fail in the future---- any oil line failure results in a bad day.
Thanks
