Hey, the fittings on my lines from the oil cooler are leaking, any tricks to keep them from leaking??? It's not the oil cooler end but the other, compression fitting end...

The Isolator is toast - was after 800 miles so they are swapping out the front mount & isolator. I don't know why they are doing this but I've learned to stop asking questions a while back with this dealership...

There are pics posted here somewhere of a good vs a bad front isolator. Actually pretty easy to see the difference.

Basically if you look at the mount for the front isolator straight on with one eyeball on either side of the bolt, the empty space between the top and bottom should be about the same or slightly more at the bottom. If there is any rubber sticking out or the bracket is at the very end of the bolt, it is likely worn out.
