Hi there
My car is a UK car, 4500 miles, drove 300 miles Friday, car fine. Drove to work Monday was fine, parked for couple of days, puddle of oil, over half litre lost, topped up and started and oil pissing on the floor lots of drips making a puddle quick.
Inspected it and there is a small pin size hole on front of oil cooler that oil and water is leaking through.
Have any oil cooler failures being reported in US or elsewhere?
Thankfully spotted, engine oil never went below minimum and coolant not below minimum, but now needs new oil cooler, oil change and coolant flush.
Is there anything else that might need changing on the coolant system or will a flush suffice to get rid of the oil as I noticed mayo forming in reservoir, but not water mixed with engine oil.
Also as I am in UK finding parts is hard, does anyone have a link to where I can buy oil cooler please and any other parts people feel it shall need?
Am really keen to hear if anyone else has had an oil cooler just develop a hole like this and begin leaking, it just seems like a really odd thing.
