I have a stupid question ('cuz I KNOW you guys will help!!). :redface: The oil line just started leaking where it attaches to the oil cooler. The hose appears to be crimped onto the outlet from the oil cooler and no sign of a fitting other than the crimp. Is it possible to disconnect this line without replacing the oil cooler altogether?? :cry:

Look between the two oil lines at the oil cooler and you will see a bolt head. Remove this bolt and the lines come off. This bolt clamps a block to the oil cooler, the oil lines are crimped to this block. The block is sealed to the oil cooler by o-rings. Be prepared for some oil to spill even if you remove the engine end first and drain as much oil as possible.
