Message	we tested and installed here on Z1 cars did not have this problem. They haven't sweated at all on my personal car and have been installed for nearly 2 years. We put the lines through a variety of tests and were confident there was no problem and had specified a proper internal hose lining. It now seems that at least some of the oil lines we received in a later production run are having a sweating issue. We haven't seen any lines that are physically dripping oil or anything that would cause a significant measurable oil loss, but we have noticed small film of oil beading up on a few of the oil drain lines recently. We currently have a batch of lines in production with a beefed up internal oil resistant fluorosilicone lining that we should have here in a few weeks. After some testing of the new batch here, will be sending out replacements at no cost to anyone who notifies us of a problem with their lines.
