(but then there is a considerable leak, or you could run out of oil of course. Small leaks can turn into bigger leaks because the oil is pressurized)
If the lines are expensive (of course they are....) you could try to weld them or braze them (both require an experienced welder), or you could put in a pipe fitting (clamp type). New lines is the best solution of course.
It is the high pressure area because they are the outlet at the filter housing and the filter is the first thing in line after the oil pump (at least: that's the normal way in an engine).

good tips. I think its a low pressure area. I let the car idle, and revved it to 4000rpm, and no leaks. Anyone know the part number to this line? You can see the clamp on it near the wheel liner
