[V6-12v] The heartbreak of oil leaks

[Clive Young]

I had a leak between the oill cooler and the engine block , easy to do
between oil changes. Just take off the filter , unscrew the "pipe" the
filter screws on to , pull off the cooler, replace the gasket, re-atatch the
pipe through the cooler, put on fliter and tighten.
