Edit:
For the 2 that have failed, are they coming off of the oil filter side or oil cooler side?

The line that came off was attached to the oil cooler side.

Quite a mess, but I've cleaned it up and put clamps on all 4 ends. Ran the car and it seems to be holding fine. Oil temps up to 180 and steady in TX 65 degree weather. I decided to do this cooler b/c of the Texas summers, so the real test is in 110 degree weather with the air conditioner and running hard. I'll keep posting as we test it out.

I'm a bit worried now that I've clamped it b/c it might cut the inner tubes. I'm going to contact Aeroquip and I'll post the conversation.
