Lots of suppliers. I was hoping the quality might be better from a particular vendor. They kinda all look alike. More than likely all made in China?? I've seen prices from $60.00on eBay to $144.00 from corvette vendors. Maybe makes no difference. What you think?

sounds like aslow leak somehere on the work side. If your hoses are all old you can see if any are lose. lets head over to your old post so we can reference the charts. If you get a length of hose you can isolate sections of the system to try and find it
