xj 40 oil cooler ?
Hey there fellow jag lovers , i am new to this forum and this is my first post . i have a 90 xj40 with a leak in the oil cooler . i was told i didnt need one , so my ? is should i plug the lines and if i do will it stop oil flowto other parts of the motoror should i just cut the lines a few centimeters from the oil filter and run a high preasure rubber hose in a small loop to ensure proper flow ?
Thanks in advance for any help

well the leak is in the oil cooler , not the oil cooler lines , so i think the o rings are good (pliable and werent leaking from that area ) but you are right about those brittle alumanum threads i wouldnt even bother . if i were to replace the oil cooler i would do new lines too .

Well thanks for all your replies ...LOL
I chopped the lines about 5 cm from the block ran some high preasure oil line in a loop to ensure proper flow (it cant be blocked or there goes my block ) Was told it only needed it when towing or driving through the alps ( of wich i will not be doing ) saved 10 pounds woooOOOOoooo Better gas milage .....lol again you are a verysmart group
Thanks again
