Which oil line would you be referring to? Is this is on a 4 cylinder or V6? Are you sure its oil and not transmission fluid? What does the line go to, and come from?

If its mtx or auto it could be the PAS cooler line...goes to a looped tube infront of the rad/condenser as...fed by two 3/8" bore tubes that have rubber pipes near the bottom rad hose...???that one??

i think it is tranny fluid not oil fluid and i think it runs right to the tranny, but im not sure, but it is a metal tube and it got ripped out somehow before i got it, but i am pretty sure it runs into the tranny......

Replace the cut/bent portion with a section of tubing, and use compression fittings on the ends. That works great! I did that with my high pressure power steering line at 50,000 miles, and NO leaks, even with 117,000 miles. Total cost is probably like $10-$15 dollars. I love the inexpensive diy repairs!!!

Sounds like the trans cooler lines that go from the trans to the rad end tank,I'd get a new line to replace the one/two that are bent/damaged.If they blow you can loose the trans fluid....not nice...TH
