Hey group! Last week, I had a friend help me replace the water pump in my
93 LX and in the process the oil pressure tubing busted a few inches from the sending unit. Unfortunately, I didn't know this until after I painted hot oil around the block. Lesson learned: run the car before you take it out. Anyway, fortunately no damage was done because I cut the engine as soon as I realized the guage showed no oil pressure. We pulled over, plugged the line, and topped off the oil.I'd like to replace the line myself before the plugged line breaks, but I'm not sure how. I bought the car the way it is so I don't have any manuals. I traced where the line goes (sending unit to back of the gauge) but not sure how to get the old tubing off and put new tubing on. Also, the old line looks like it was 1/8" nylon and was brittle as hell (i'm lucky it didn't bust on the highway) so is the braided steel tubing any better. My gauge is an autometer phantom alongside a water temp gauge placed in the middle vent above the AC controls.
In case anyone wants to see it, I have a pic of it up here:
