[VintageLambo] Re: burst oil cooler pipe

Hi guys, I think some S3 espadas have both the huge pan, about 14 quarts, and the oil cooler too. I recall seeing one with a kinda scoop below the radiator where the cooler was mounted(stock, not stock?). In my Espada parts manual Tavola 5 Gruppo 15 shows both the bypass hose from the pump to the crankcase and the cooler with lines too. The item #58 is the bypass tube, and has a note behind "(G. Brit- Irlandia-Australia)", which would be all RHD cars. They don"t show a different oil pan. I would like to add an oil cooler to my car later. I was thinking of the area just behind the left headlights, and in front of the booster cans. Keep it away from road hazards. Sounds like I need to spec the hoses carefully. As I recall, in my Ferrari, the cooling lines to the oil cooler are SS braid over rubber, tough looking things.
