oil cooler hoses leak
My 1999 Chevy Blazer with 42000 miles leaks a lot of engine oil and I must replace original hoses and I feel this repair is too soon on such a newer truck. Does any one else have a comment?
The maintenance schedule does not mention oil cooler hoses check. Please comment. Thank you.

having said that, I don't blame you for being irritated with a hose that let go in a 2-3 year old vehicle with typical mileage.

If it is the seal, it is a easy fix, just one bolt holds the bracket on the filter mount.
Good luck

It may be as simple as replacing the hose fitting o-rings.
If you have a 2 wheel drive model, it is usually a bad o-ring connector or the adapter fitting that screws into the radiator. My wife's 2wd S-10 leaked at 300 miles and needed both upper and lower hose fittings and o-rings replaced. Dealer kinked the line and that ended up with another line failure at 9400 miles, so if you do it your self watch out for that one the replacement line runs around $100.
I think 42K is reasonable hose life, yes.
