My 69 bus had the oil light go on yesterday, I was in the middle of a crowed city so I pulled off as soon as I could. Checked the engine and the hose from the oil cooler to the engine was off, oil was all over the engine compartment. I walked to a friends house and called my girlfriend she picked me up and we went to the hardware store and got a clamp for the hose. We went back to the bus and cut the bad end of the hose off and reclamped it. I put in some oil. And I got to work fine. I had put in two quarts before and another two quarts at work, but on the way home it stalled overheated and I sat around for 5-10 minutes and was underway. It did ok but stalled when I slowed down. I had to pop it in gear to save the starter and battery. Today it's hard to crank and stalls when I go into gear. To oil is a little high although it was fine yesterday, I think I'll drain some out. So do I need a rebuild. The engine has about 8K miles on it and ran fine till yesterday, what kind of damage could I have done? Thanks.
