Well I switched out my busted oil cooler lines with stainless steel braided ones, but now I have a small leak in the oil cooler core itself.

Has anyone stumbled across a place with cheap OEM oil coolers (looking for the larger TII oil cooler)?

I haven't bothered to look check with any dealers yet and the only other source I've been able to find is Mazdatrix for $500+.

 

all 2nd gen ones are the same. turbo or not. just pick up a used one from somewhere.

 

Yep, just like scott says, there is no difference between a T2 and NA oil cooler.. it is the same part on either car.

They seldom leak unless the car has been in an accident or the hoses were torqued down too tight, so a junk yard or ebay one would more than likely be your cheapest alterntive.

 

Where is it leaking. There is a website that details the repair if it is leaking where the Banjo bolts go in.

Also, there is one on ebay for like $10 right now.

Good luck.
