We just got my 'new' 1994 945T back on the road, and my mechanic/buddy noticed something odd while replacing the oil return line off the turbo. there seem to be some extra lines going through the oil filter housing, which he suggested was an oil cooler line from the radiator. the thing is, it doesn't look like it's made of exactly 'stock' parts...

there seems to be an extra port on the line, and it looks like it might be made of 'extra' parts some other mechanic might have had handy...

(sorry for the crappy pics -- the batteries on my real camera died, these are from my phone)
it looks like there is extra material splayed around the top of the clamp -- is this normal/stock, or am I witnessing a previous mechanic's cheat?
