oil leak driving me crazy please help

[jpsamson27]

I have 86 mr2 non turbo, non supercharged. The car is streaming oil when running but no oil is leaking when the car is sitting. The oil leak is coming from a hose that one end is right below the distributor. So i thought it might be coming from the distributor O-ring. I then replaced it and nothing its still leaking. Could that hose be a oil cooler hose, I thought that the non turbo and non supercharged didnt have any oil cooler hose. ANY ADVICE OR HELP WOULD BE GREAT.

im not great with mr2s but you may have an oil cooler hose (although thats rare on N/A cars) but maybe you should try checking the wire attaching that could be loose, are you 100% sure that is the source of the leak? could there be a gasket somwhere thats leaking?

yeah, sounds like the oil cooler hose, from the sandwich adapter(between oilfilter &block) to the cooler. could just get a cheap replacement from an auto parts store, make sure it is specifically oil cooler hose. i have an N/A 86 with an oil cooler and have seen a cooler in every mk1 mr2 i have seen. the site www.padandwheels.com has a DIY with good pics.
