Oil cooler leak.

Can the cooler be removed with the engine in place?? Looks to be easy on the bottom bolts but the top bolts are invisible and I'm not sure they can be seen without dropping the engine.

There are no leaks from the Triangle of Death area and those parts are dry. Believe it or not :=)

The cooler doesn't appear to be damaged in any way nor does it seem distorted or deformed from what I can see.

Any help would be appreciated!!

Jon,

Have you done a search "Engine oil cooler removal"?

Do you have a Bentley?

No engine removal required.....

Good luck,

Gerry
