I have been researching how to do this and it doesnt look impossible just seems to be a pain in the (IMG:style_emoticons/default/bootyshake.gif)
I have found the following link to help but if anyone else has any pointers I would appreciate it. Also, I am not sure what he is talking about with regard to the two 13mm bolts on passenger side. What is that attached to? I also a bit concerned that my bent engine bar my get in the way of this. I was going to put that on the back burner but can someone tell me if it will be easier to do that before attempting this? Maybe it will be even easier without engine bar in way if I have to take it off anyways? |

You forgot to post the link.
The bent engine bar probably won't get in the way more than an unbent one would. You might get a little more clearance by removing the bar and supporting the engine on a jack stand, not really sure. Make sure the cooler seals are what is really leaking; this job is a pain in the butt to do and you really don't want to have to do it and discover it didn't fix the problem. Double-check the oil pressure sender; that is one of the common leaks and it can look like an oil cooler leak. --DD |

I am assuming it is the seal above the oil filter but am waiting on a new filter to do a change and see if (fingers crossed) it was just the o-ring on the oil filter.
