What causes the engine hose to split on a sprinter?

Replace the intercooler o-ring seals or refresh the hoses themselves to fix any leak you find. The most common leak on the V6 engine is the green o-ring in the metal pipe that is attached to the turbocharger. Any curved hose is also a candidate for developing a split. Check all sides of all curved hoses by squeezing the hose vigorously.
