Still looking for a source for the oil line. The clamp that connects the hose/line to the oil cooler housing/thermostat is leaking pretty bad when the engine is running under pressure. Its heading up to Born2BFast today for a week's worth of fixes to a two page list of issues. I'll be on vacation, so giving the car back to them for a week isn't a big deal. What is a big deal is that they take care of the issues per their warranty. Stay tuned.

Just speculating here but I would consider pulling the entire line off of the car intact and bring to a local hydraulic hose shop.
I would have them make up a flexible connector assembly for the leaking section by using a sweged hose and welding on appropriate fittings to each end of the good line.
Anyone see any problems with this approach?

We have a local hydraulic hose/gasket/fitting shop here in Richmond that can quite literally make anything for fluid transfer. They do a lot of work for heavy equipment and I'm quite sure that tackling a "small" oil line hose would be almost too easy.
You should take HarryDs advice and look for such a place.
Good luck,
Tom
