    I need to repair/replace the oil pipe that goes from the oil tank to the oil radiator. I will post a very interesting bodged repair picture in due course!

    My query is, when I disconnect this pipe, how much oil will drain out of either end. (I.e. how big a mess will I make on my garage floor!!!)

    As an aside if anybody has a second hand pipe for sale, I'd be interested.

    Appreciated

    Thanks Jeff, thought you might have done something similar.

    Mines a different pipe, but very useful to know that there will only be a little oil lose; i.e. small catch tray required and only limited number of the Missis paper towels!!

    Also nice to know I'm not the only car running around where some doofus has used a hose clip to fix a cracked pipe, in my case, a hose clip around a cracked nut!!!

    I will be taking it off this winter when the weather is forecast to be poor and pop it into my local pirtek :)

    Much appreciated
    Adrian
