[V8] Drippy oil pressure lines

[Buchholz, Steven]

... while anything is possible, you should remember that the lines are
only being used to push the oil through the cooler ... I can't imagine
the fluid is pressurized to any significant level ... i.e. we're not
talking about an engine oil cooler situation here.  Perhaps I should
take that statement back a bit ... I always think about manual
transmissions ... perhaps the automatic coolers are pressurized more ...
I don't know.  

If you look at it, the oil cooler lines are the low men on the totem
pole ... and they run right underneath the hydraulic pump and A/C
compressor ... both capable of leaking prodigious amounts of fluid.
Whatever leak there is tends to work its way down to those lowest lines
and drip from there.  The other day on #344 I noticed a very slight drip
off these lines (couple drops per day max) ... which I'm pretty sure is
coming from the hydraulic system ...
