Let's just say............When you disconnect your SS oil feed line make sure you don't lay it in a place where someone might accidentally put it into the battery terminal Apparently and arc can put a pin hole leak thru a SS line.

So instead of fixing a minor leak I get to have a whole new line made and replace it tomorrow But it's all good, it will be a new higher quality line anyway

Its just such a small leak, going through all that trouble to fix it just seems wasteful.
