Happy New Year to all
The oil cooler lines on my '98 R1100RS have been leaking enough to get the lines oily, not enough to drip yet.
I looked up the parts on the online microfiche of a couple well known parts suppliers, but none seem to apply to my model year. They seem to end with those built by 12/97 and I can't find any reference to my model year.
There appears to be a different type of connection at the cooler used on those models, as the one on mine (and I'm thinking specifically of the one on the left side of the engine) has no coupling nut, but is rather plain oil cooler type hose secured to the oil cooler by a radiator style clamp. The other side of the oil cooler has a similar attachment for the oil cooler line.
Is there a different solution from a different bike model? Or should I try to locate a complete oil cooler with lines from a different year? Or am I looking for parts in the wrong place?
Thanks
