I got the dual 25 row oil cooler kit from rotary extreme several years ago and just recently got the engine running. I stripped the fitting on one cooler, so it leaked and I ordered a new one. I installed it a couple days ago and just today, the damn thing started leaking again! Now I gotta crawl under there again and figure out whats leaking this time. Stupid oil cooler.

 

Maybe you fouled up the an fitting on the line as well..

 

Maybe the title of this thread should be "F-ing DIY'er"



Don't feel bad, I was under my car putting my starter on yesterday and dropped it (almost crushed my face ) and busted one of the posts off and have to wait til Friday for a new solenoid.

 

I know this sounds ghetto, but on my other car (G35), I had a similar problem. I semi stripped one side of the oil cooler fitting. Fix in the end was the strongest JB weld I could find from the local parts store. I've been to track and drift events afterwards and its still held up strong. I can't say that it will work for everyone, but it did for me.

 

I'm not surprised. JB Weld would hold the world together. I always buy some when I go back to the states.

 

A hairline crack maybe the culprit. it wont be easy to spot either as it can either be external or internally on the threads leading out to the open

 

that sucks
