3.2 Carrera-Thermostat / front oil cooler leak

Went to the Goodwood festival of speed today ( UK ).

All fine apart from discovering a small pool of oil under the front wing - below the front oil cooler. and also around the thermostat in the rear wheel arch.

Bought plenty of oil, and got home.

First step will be to clean the wheel arch - as they are coated with oil.

Next - any suggestions for likely source for the leak?

Expect the best move would simply be to replace all the gaskets - as if one or two have gone expect only a metter of tiem before all will fail.

Any tips / problems to watch out for when changing the gaskets?

There are no gaskets. Most likely the flex hoses that attach between the cooler and the hard oil lines have developed at leak at the junction between hose and hose end. Those hoses are only about $30 each and easiliy replaced.

Just posted on G FOS - wasnt it good!

sorry to hear about your leak. Hope it is the flexible, the hard lines are more of a game.
