Hi All, Just uncovered the mountain of engineering to get to my oil cooler;)
In your experiences, does the oil cooler fail or is it usually the gaskets. OEM is quite pricey so I'm keen to avoid replacing if not necessary. Any one managed to pressure test?

Do you have a leak at the oil cooler?

Do you have a V6? I change the seals on the oil cooler. Had to take the whole intake manifold, thermostat, alternator just to gain access. The replacement seal on the bottom does not fit like the original but it will seal, or at least it sealed in mine. What a job to get to the cooler!
If you require any pics or assitance, let me know.
I used a flexible head box end ratchet to tighten the the cooler back on the engine mount. Think it was 27mm
