i backed my FC out of my garage and there was a small spot, thought it was loose fluid. took it to school and when i left my friend pointed out the spot in the parking lot. so i wiped my finger around the bottom and there was small amounts of oil. theres not a large amount of leaking, but small drops. i lifted it up and this is what i found....





how much do new ones go for?used?

 

An new oil cooler is pricey...

You can try to find a used one in decent shape thru Ebay or The 2nd Gen: For Sale Section...

 

Junkyard.

 

Ouch! Get a used one from someone on this forum (classifieds) or from a junkyard. At the same time, clean and inspect the cooler hoses and replace the copper crush washers that seal the banjo bolts. These bolts are often TIGHT so don't be surprised if they are a real pain to remove. Also check the condition of the oil cooler mounts. They like to rot after a while...
