Is it leaking due to rust or did one of the lines come disconnected?
If one line rusted through, you are better off replacing all of them since the others might be soon to follow.

Hey! I had the same issue with my car and its a Mazda re-call on the oil line. So it should not cost you a thing. Go to your local dealer and check it out!

Hopefully he isn't in one of the countries not covered for this recall (like the US).
Not really sure who is "excluded" from it.

It leak from the rusty middle part of the hose. The rb hose set replaces all of the hoses, right, i was hoping to find only that hose .They are 2 hoses on the driver side oil cooler but the one thats leaking is the left one that connect to the bottom plug at the engine. Im a good mechanic and doing the job myself but cant find the part number.any help will be awesome.

thanks jon316 got it . now to order the part that cost 250. damn, thats ridiculous for 2 hoses.

I just found beside my car a spring like 3 inches long similar to the ehxaust springs, color painted red like my car but dont know were it came off. does the rear suspension have similar springs to the ones from exhaust bolts?.

are you talking about your rear shocks? you would easily be able to tell if that has come loose. As far as the rear suspension other than the main spring there are no others. You have the sway bar and end links. Then the control arms but We just tore all that apart this weekend and didn't find any other springs

a photo would of what you found would help.
