What happens is that many times the support bracket is removed from pipe and it allows the oilpipe to vibrate to much and crack from metal fatiuge.
If you look close to the coolant thermostat area, on the heater metal pipe is a 1/2" eyelet welded on to coolant pipe, it's suppose to be a 6mm bolt through that eyelet and through a rubber coated clamp that goes around oil pipe for support.
Many don't know the reason for that clamp and remove it when doing some repairs or the nut vibrates off the bolt and the clamp falls off.
