Cannot identify this part thats leaking-Help (pics)
 
Good Morning gents,

I have a decent leak that is is on the bottom of my car. After crawling under, I have located it this "connection". Can someone please tell me what this is? Is it part of the oil cooler? I didnt think so since its below it. The leak is coming from where the two parts join. I tried to tighten the two bolts, but it still drips on my heat exchanger. It looks like an oil feed tube. Is there a O-ring that fits there, or a gasket? Would really like to take care of this.

Thanks alot guys. Really appreciate it.

Engine mounted oil cooler. Right at that spot it has a rubber washer seal.

Thanks so much!
Would you be able to show me what the seal looks like? Part number?

they, as old as most of them are may have also had a cooler failure. try the 3 new rubber seals, but it might be a good idea while out to have it pressure tested.

Thanks! is it only one seal that fits in the tube? How do they look. I cannot find it in the bentley manual.

Thanks again!

Search our hosts catalog for 'oil cooler seal' they will come up. Round green seals.

And this tech article may help:

as mentioned aboive i would pull the cooler and send it off for cleaning and testing, or jest get another kown good one from a supplier . if its a decent leak il bet it has a leak and its not the seal

I cleaned the cooler, then taped off the location to confirm its coming from seal itself. When I unbolt the two bolts, Does the seal just sit in there? I ordered the seals. Im just curious how it actually " seals" .

If the cooler ever need to be replaced, is it a difficult job?

Really appreciate the help gents.
