Thread: Oil Leak from Oil Cooler Gasket?

Also where the centrifugal bolts onto the housing which is where one of my leaks was, just looking at your engine mount it has oil residue on it so while you have everything off replace all O rings and gaskets.

Check your engine mounts while you have the stuff off also easy to replace water pump if needed.

Most likely the o ring in front of that pic, where the oil rotor housing bolts to the oil cooler ,no need to remove the oil cooler , but easy if you move the a/c compressor forward to access the 3 bolts for the rotor housing, undo the 2 nuts for the oil return to sump and you can helicoil the stripped threads that are the result of butchers changing the rotor filter unless you are lucky , order the gasket and o ring before you start the job . the o ring goes flat and leaks ( common)

There is a gasket on the bottom of the centrifugal filter housing for the drain pipe replace that because there is one bolt that is a pain to get to when everything is on

Just to clarify again, those photos we're downloaded from a Google search to illustrate where I think the oil is coming from.

Thanks guy's. I figure since I can get the o-rings and gaskets from RoverParts for approx $80 so I may as well replace them all while I'm at it since it'll be cheap (fingers crossed nothing else pops up in the process).

If you are pulling the oil cooler anyway , ( don't see why because it would be leaking coolant as well as oil if it was from there) you will need to remove the turbo as well , also replace the little coolant hose of the back of the oil cooler .
