6 of the 13 were finger tight only. Cleaned it up installed a new gasket from Jerry and torqued it down with red locktite. Biggest leak found was the oil filter adapter on the front of the engine. The 2 lowest of the 3 bolts were only finger tight. Replaced that gasket and torqued with red locktite.

First remove the 2 lines to the cooler and disconnect it from the oil cooler. This gives a bit more room. Mainly it is a PIA unhooking the 3 sensors and the wire loom clip from the right upper bolt. There are only 3-10mm hex head lower bolts and one upper bolt that is common with the alternator bracket. I think the lower left bolt is shorter than the rest.

The one lower bolt is a tight squeeze over the lower radiator hose.

Wasn't too difficult.

I've probabily spent 3 times more time and effort cleaning up the nest and the past oil leak residual than taking things apart and putting back together.
