What was found

(CAN) ENGINE OIL SUPPLY HOSE WAS REPLACED AS IT IS A LIFE LIMITED PART. THE NEW HOSE WAS INSTALLED AND FUNCTIONAL CHECKED. A LEAK WAS DETERMINED TO BE COMING FROM THE NEW HOSE FITTING. THE FITTING WAS CHECKED FOR TIGHTNESS BUT THIS DID NOT FIX THE LEAK. THE OLD HOSE WAS REINSTALLED AND THERE WAS NO MORE LEAKAGE. (TC# 20100219007)
