I have a stupid question ('cuz I KNOW you guys will help!!).

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??

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.
