CA Just a few questions....

88' S4 N/A no mods besides suspension.
1. I have an increasing amount of oil slowing covering my oil cooler, should i just replace the oil cooler with a OEM replacement...or is there a better after market?

2. Also i lowered my car 2 inches...when im adjusting alignment(on an up to date alignment machine) how should the specs be for adjusting the caster/camber be altered since the vehicle isnt spec height?

3. When i am adjusting the camber...I remove the 4 shock absorber nuts(on the strut mount), then i am to push the mounting block down and turn it until the camber is adjusted properly...do i do this on the car with the wheel on or off? How do i push that down(it has alot of force)?

I have access to many shop tools at my auto school. It would be greatly appreciated to have someone give me some info...any would be great even just a lil bit. Ive spent a bit of time in the search and barely found what i was looking for and even longer on google. So this is why i joined the 7 club to talk to real people and get real responses rather than reading old threads where my particular questions arent answered. Thanks alot!

1) You may have leaking oil cooler lines. Check and replace if that's the case. A leaking cooler is less likely.

2) Lowered the car how? Coilover? Aftermarket springs? Cut stock springs? Lowering will increase camber.

3) Again, are we talking stock or modified? You'd need camber plates for what you're talking about.
