Turbo oil lines tends to rust or break at the crimped connection. If it breaks you will lose all your engine oil really quick.

Radiator have plastic end caps, inlet and outlet. The inlet tends to crack and the top hose (engine outlet hose) will empty your cooling system really fast. You will see a lot of smoke coming from underneath the hood when this happens.

But see my oil cooler repair solution posted earlier to remedy this.
