Hey guys/gals so if its not one thing its another. I notice a small slick in my driveway after a rain and decided to check it out. Turns out its a leak coming from the upper oil cooler line. Now I know those things just push in so i was wondering if i could simply push it further in to tighten it or do I have to replace the entire line? Also how hard is it to replace those lines since its 10 degrees here and i have a snow covered driveway with no garage :( Thanks.

Ok cant post pics, but this is identical http://www.truckforum.org/forums/at...oil-leak-1991-k1500-5-7l-94gm-oiladptr-22.jpg

Will have to either replace the whole line or get an adapter and delete the oil cooler lines

ok so ive decided to replace the lines, however was wondering what i have to do to get the lines off the oil filter housing? They are definitely push in style not clipped. Do i just pull or is there some sort of special tool i need?
