Tipped the bike over, bent the oil cooler line and now the fitting is seeping/leaking. the line too a bit of a hit when the bike went over and I think it torqued the fitting. Anyone know if I pull the line and bend it back to original shape think the fitting would re-seal? |

They are some kind of quick connect fitting. Have not pulled one but it looks like it's locked with the little wire clip. Experimenting may cost you a quart of oil... And some mess. Z |

guaranteed that the line is cracked. been there-done that. release the tube with the spring clip and the fitting stays behind, o-ring on the tube for sealing. tim |
