Not the smoothest oil change tonight...

I noticed my oil cooler lines appear to be leaking, in addition to looking rusty:

Anyone attempted to repair these? A hydraulic hose place, maybe?



I am not sure if this is due to the same leak or if something else is leaking:

I was having trouble getting the oil filter off so I dropped the sway bar, and in the process snapped one of the studs:

Does anyone have a source for a replacement stud? I guess I can find something in the Mcmaster catalog if not.

I had the same issue. Couldnt find a press-in stud locally, so i got a high strength hex head bold and nut and held the allen up there while i tightened the nut. that was a tight fit!

Unfortunately they aren't all equally accessible from the back and I think I broke the hardest one -- I could just barely get the broken stud piece out after I hit it with a drift.

I guess I'll get something like this http://www.mcmaster.com/#cadinlnord/92290a432/=jr3jup and turn them on the lathe.

That looks like a pan leak to me...
