    How are the transmission oil cooler lines run?

    I'm in the middle of putting my 750 back together and ran into a problem, how are the transmission oil lines run from the transmission to the radiator? It's really the front of the engine that I'm not sure where it's supposed to feed through. I remember that the lines hug the bottom of the engine somehow. I pulled the lines off when I had the engine and transmission out and figured I can install them later. Any tips for routing the lines while the engine and transmission are already installed?

    Here is the diagram http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E3...n_oil_cooling/ the installation cannot be made wrong as the cooler lines are bent and shaped. https://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E32-750...-/143512114941
    The clips are shown in the ETK under item 13.
    Basically they run at the side of the lower oil pan area towards front, here you can see the connections to the radiator http://bmwe32.masscom.net/sean750/ra...eplacement.htm
    The only confusion could be how they are routed thru the steering/front axle system, maybe someone has a pic.
