Oil Retun Line Replacement

[mspk2]

I have a 03 MSP and the oil return line has a small leak. I've called every Mazda dealer in my area plus 5 out of state dealers and wholesale dealers and part number 0000-88-C25 is no longer available in the US. If I go buy some bulk hose, what type does it need to be? power steering, trans hose? The don't have a specific oil only hose. Any input is appreciated.

you can probably just use any rubber line similar in size and cut to fit if needed. or upgrade to SS and use AN fittings for the return line

Crossover auto sells them

Ive already tried some bulk hose. the length it needs to be makes it really hard to get it to seal to the block flush. im not a 100% sure there was an actual hole in the hose, I think only the outter layer was cut. I wrapped it with a self sealing heat tape that withstands 500+ degrees so fingers crossed. what does crossover sell, the hose or fittings because I did not see any oil return hose

Did you call Mazda South? I used to work there. What part of Austin are you in? There is a group of about 4 of us with gray MSPs in the area you should meet up with us sometime. I can definitely help with the oil return line
