i recently replaced the o-rings underneath my beehive oil cooler on my 1985 RX-7 G model ...... everything went well but i wondered what failure modes this beehive cooler has .......
has anyone every seen a major failure of the beehive oil cooler ??? ....... like oil leaks into the coolant or coolant leaks into the oil .......
thanks,

You have just experienced the main failure mode; o-rings.

But primarily, the beehive's greatest failure is that it doesn't work well.
