Hi evverybody.

Today when i got to a friends house, i noticed that was alot of coolant leaking from the hose by the oil filter. There are two hoses there that have metal screw clamps.Looks like it connects to the block.The car is a 92 745t. I did not get a chance to get under the car because it got dark and i did not have my tools. I think it's called the oil coolant hose. Can i get one of these hoses from the local parts store or get a volvo OEM hose? Thanks.

    They are oil cooler hoses and rot because of the oil filter located just above. Get them from the dealer. You can easily replace them yourself with the car on ramps. But change them ASAP because ALL your coolant will rapidly leak out when the engine is on.

    I got mine from Swedish Engineering. Get clamps locally though, they gouged me on the clamps. IMHO.....BTW they are oil cooler hoses, they get oil dripped on them everytime you do an oil change, I started trying to shove a rag under the filter before I loosen it, but it doesn't help too much.
    Good Luck...
