I don't unfortunetly. This actually happened, and I noticed it the week before I sold my car. I re-cut the hose and fixed the fittings as best I could prior to selling the car and told the new owner to contact LJ if they continued to leak.

Infamous Performance is doing their best to fix the problem, we will find out in a few days if I need new lines or not. I am getting a little impatient haha I want to drive this monster already!

Make sure they arent using teflon tape on any of those connections

Ah! LJ is sending me some new fittings since I have the same issue. I took my bumper off Saturday to install the SPAL fans+shroud and saw oil leaking at both ends. The whole engine bay is covered in oil. I knew I had a small leak at one end just didn't realize it was both.

Hey guys, haven't updated in a while. I have had a few different issues with FullBlown Oil Cooler lines...which were switched to 100% XRP equipment...andddd now those are leaking.

1000cc Injectors are on their way
Clutchmasters FX300 Clutch kit is on its way.

Then I am getting tuned by Bill at Delicious Tuning on e85. You could say I am a little excited.

What's your plan on the oil lines? I'm on my second set of fittings and it looks like they still have a minor leak, was considering those XRP lines to try next..

At this point, I would probably just go to Jegs or Summit Racing and order up my own Earls hose and fittings and make my own lines.
