Reply to "Best place to route mechanical oil temp capillary through firewall"

My gauges are VDO.  I installed a mechanical oil pressure gauge.  I run the plastic capillary tubing which does carry real oil from the fitting at the back of the block.  Never had a problem with it but yes, I guess if it somehow breaks, hot oil would definitely come out.  I would be more concerned frankly with the heater hoses failing next to my feet and burning me with 200 degree water and hence why Lance List replaced my aging rubber hoses with stainless braided lines.

I probably should replace the plastic VDO tubing with copper for piece of mind.
