This is a follow-up to the infamous "Overfilled Oil" post. Of course it
turned out that the oil was only slightly overfilled so it was no problem.
However, while probing around I discovered that the remote oil filter lines
are weeping very slowly where the rubber hoses are crimped to the metal
lines that attach to the oil filter adapter/cooler (note: I only have the
remote oil filter on my 1989 Chevy S10 Blazer 4.3L 4x4...I don't have the
cooler-to-radiator attachments [thank God, that's one less thing to
break!]). The weeping leak is so slow that you cannot feel or see it while
the car is running...it only shows up as a small grease stain on the skid
plate every few days (and of course a few small drips under the car after
its been parked). Thinking back on it, I believe these remote oil filter
lines have been weeping for over a year...however, the odd part is the oil
level in my car is ALWAYS full and the oil pressure is always in normal
operating range. I only change the oil about once a year (I drive less than
2500 miles/year)...and since there's no detectable drop in oil level or
pressure over that time period, should I treat this as an urgent "problem"
or can I just put it off until time/money permits. Is it really possible
that an oil hose can just blow off (or is that a auto shop scare tactic?)
Would JB Welding the area where the rubber hose crimps to the metal line
help or hurt? I've read that these remote lines always leak....is it
possible to buy replacement lines that won't develop this slow leak (if so
where?).

Sorry for the long post...I hope this doesn't develop into another monster
thread! Merry Christmas!
