oil leak

I think its coming from the oil cooler? i checked all lines and no cuts of fractures and i checked all connections and looked all fine but when i get to my car every morning theres oil underneath it on the card board its kinda behind the radiator (a koyo after market) in between the radiator and oil cooler by the cross member.

look for any drips anywhere on the oil cooler lines or anywhere on the oil cooler itself... are you sure it's oil?

Get SS braided Oil Cooler lines. The OEM ones might be bad at the connections.

The first step to finding an oil leak is to thoroughly clean and degrease the area. Remove all oil that has already made a mess. Then start the car and begin examining any suspected leak points for seepage.
