Oil leak!!! Help please
Hey everyone I have an oil leak on my 08 zo6 and it looks like it's coming from the oil cooler lines at the end where it connects by the oil filter but I'm not a hundred percent. This is the second time I have had this issue in the last 2 years has anyone else had problems with this? The first time I replaced te oil cooler and lines and it solved the problem but it only lasted a year is there a better solution?

I recently had to replace my oil lines as they developed a leak from the lines that led into the oil block adapter. I will probably replace the stock lines and go with an aftermarket soft line.

Yeah I believe that's where my leak is coming from too. Is there any aftermarket ones you recommend or found that seem legit? I need to find a solution to this cause I do not want to replaced lines every year

I ordered an oil block adapter, and soft lines and fittings from Improved Racing.

How bad of a leak? I had a situation where the car was leaving large puddles of oil on the ground each time I stopped. The oil covered the bottom of the engine and oil cooler lines from the front stabilizer bar to the rear of the car. There was so much oil it was hard to tell where it was coming from. Dealer mechanic first thought the oil cooler line was leaking so he replaced it and the oil kept pouring out, then he replaced the engine oil pan gasket and the magic fix was replacing the front cover seal.

Does anyone know if it's possible to change the oil line block adapter gasket without having to replace the lines.
I attached a picture it's labeled #3 in the picture if you don't know which gasket I am talking about.
