Oil cooler coolant leak?

I think I have a coolant leak from the oil cooler to block gasket. Has anyone seen this.

When the car is warm or the outside is warm there is no leak. On recent cool nights I have seen some drops of pure coolant under than area, some drips hit the sway bar.

Is this just an issue of "tightening the bolts" a little or am I looking at a removal and gasket replacement? Assuming that is the source of the leak.

Yep, not uncommon. The oil cooler sits in coolant (that's why, when the seals fail, you get oil in the coolant.

You can try tightening the bolts, it's free, but be prepared to do the gasket and the O-rings, and realign the housing using the special alignment tool.
