Oil Tube XK8 4.2 Coupe 2007
#1
![Question](https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I have a Jaguar XK8 4.2 Coupe 2007. I live in Madrid.
I noticed a small leak on the garage floor, coming from the radiator or thereabouts. Jaguar have installed a new radiator and water pump, but so far been unable to locate an oil tube Reference 02C2P181368. Apparently they can´t find one anywhere in Europe and are trying the USA or Asia for it. (An alternative which they agree with, is the we get the part fabricated as it will take far less time than a long wait).
Please, any advice will be most welcome, as I have been without the car for three months (including two months confinement)

Hey caspia. Your question is too vague. please take a pic or provide more description. Oil tube can mean anything from filler neck to dipstick to an oil cooler line. Where does the line come from and go to? You probably just have the wrong part number. More info will help steer you in the right direction

That Part Number doesn't look right. Is the leak from one of the two oil cooler hoses? See items 4 and 5:

I should have been driving through Madrid on my way to the south two weeks ago. Strange times.

I will have the part tomorrow, hopefully..
It is the short hose to cool oil that cools the gearbox. I think they use hydraulic fluid.
It is located under the engine.
I will know more when I get the actual part and will post an image.
In any event it is a very simple fabrication.
Watch this space!
