whelp the good old RX-8 finally left me stranded today..... drove home from work then went to the grocery store with the wifey and when putting the groceries in the car i smelled oil.... (i jinxed myself on the way by saying "hey the engine light inst on" stupid me) well sure enough there was a pool of oil under the car.... after searching very hard i found the leak it was on of the driver's side oil cooling lines....it was rusted and had the tiniest pin hole in one of the couplings..... so i filled it up with oil and drove a very short distance to the garage..... where it sits.

anyone know how much those lines cost????
is it worth it to have them just change em both or all 4 while its there?

I had to replace my lines due to them being corroded. It didn't get to the point where I had a bad leak. Mazda had a recall in Canada over this problem. The US wasn't included. I got a complete set of used lines for $150. I had a mechanic replace all (5?) lines. Racing Beat now sells a set of braided lines.
