Oil in seat
Hi kinda random but I recently bought a passenger seat for my Sim racing set up and I cut a tube and oil started leaking out of it. I can't find anything online as to what it is.
Is it just for the heated seats?
Thanks in advance

is the seat from an actual vehicle then repurposed for e-racing? if so what car?
i imagine you bought a passenger seat for the drivers seat in the sim right? bc having a passenger seat AND a driver seat in a sim rig is odd haha!

Is not that no one knows anything, is that you haven’t described anything properly.

Lol idk how else to "properly" explain.. literally a plastic container under where your *** would be full of oil connected to a tube and sensor..
So yes pretty sure no one knows what it's for.
I'll just tell myself it's for the heated seat/comfort lol
