TSIO 360 Turbo pressure line

[Grumpy]

Question from the shallow end for the smart guys..

Running down an oil leak and saw this hose seemingly split..I believe it's the oil pressure line to the turbo (picture is looking up, front towards left), part number 646644S6S7.75 (I think), but looking at the diagram in the ipc from Continental, the picture appears to show a split in the hose (#20 in the diagram EDIT: added diagram pic)

 

Is this supposed to be 'flexible' that way?  The inner core is intact and looks fine

 

Oh, and found the oil leak, loose fitting on a different hose

 

Thanks in advance

Glad you found the leak. I have chased mine ever since I bought the airplane over two years ago. Finally aggravated enough I am putting in an exchange engine from Western Skyways in January. Current engine was installed in 1991, so I can’t complain too much.

For anyone who finds this via search engine, here's the answers...thanks to a very patient IA at the airport....

No, the hose is not supposed to split there, but the good news is it was just the fire proof sheathing, not the actual hose, that split.  Some judicious application of more fire proof wrapping and we are good to go.
