Oil Leak - pipe; I think engine oil

Speak to Joe at Emmotts and get replacement pipes and a replacement cooler that you will know will be good and put them on problem solved and not too dear
 
I think it may surprise you :p
It's marine grease supposedly stable against heat, vibration and salt water, and none has dripped off in my 20 mile trip this morning :)

(although exactly how the oil will affect it wasn't in the literature..)

The oil is hot and under a pressure it will finds it's way through. You could try Marmite but that may not be to every bodies taste. :D:D:D

Only way you will slow it down or maybe seal it is to wash pipe clean with solvent and smear with a thick coat of Hylomar. Wait until the solvent in the Hylomar disperses and it loses it's tack. Then wrap tightly with self amalgamating tape. That may slow it or even seal it. The grease is possibly just diverting it so it drips somewhere where it does not hit the floor.

Ordinary domestic silicon bath sealant and amalgamating tape works in an emergency. I'm loath to recomend it though.:)

I've put a bandage round it to hold it for a bit. I need to get to actually replacing it, or at the very least replacing the hose though.
Certainly fulfilling my IOAM requirements of daily oil checking now though :p
 
Have used some styrene sealant and self-amalgamating tape, so that should hold it for a while, hopefully
 
UPDATE

So having read through a number of threads dictating the almost guaranteed destruction of the cooler thread, I am going for my final quick fix:

I have a bigger piece of hose, and plan to cut the original hose and then run the new hose over it, and over the metal join, and then jubilee clip it on. Thoughts?
 
Thoughts stingy git :) try take it off .
If it strips buy a new one, with pipes less than £150 sorted for another 10 years .

By the way I've got two p38 one stripped the other didn't

Don't bodge what if the pipe fails and well your lose more than a few quid:crazy_driver:
