Mysterytrain - Ron
Experienced oil leak after latest rebuild, with engine in, just sitting - hadn't even started it yet.
Just performed partial engine drop, due to apparent leak at the oil cooler, assuming I must have not set the gaskets right, probably leaking around the bottom seal.
What I found - same as your Behr cooler: bad weld leak where the bottom aluminum cross tube mates to the cooler. Looking at it close - it sucks that there's not really much of a weld there at all.
How has the JB weld patch in that location held up in the following years?
