I hear ya..mine started dripping and I had to change it..I just got a new one.

But the new Engine has solved that problem entirely..as well as making Plug changes a **** ton easier..

ok here are the pictures of the routing. it goes alllll the way to the rear of the K member by the deep side of the oil pan.



i zip tied it to the engine oil cooler hose down (look at the zip ties)






then i opened up the holder for the cooler hard line and tucked it in there beside it. note: it is pretty much as tight as a plug wire loom, so it wont vibrate out.




you can see pretty clear how its routed and is near the motor mount for reference.


and the final result:


i havent cut it down fully, i could take an inch or 2 off of the end so it doesnt hang as much, but who really looks down there anyways.

No..the Opti Plastic Case(the Opti itself will shitout long before that) has a good chance to last 500K miles..
The Water Pump will go before then too..it's just goin to keep the Coolant from dripping on the Opti when the Pump goes.
