I lost about 3/4 quart of oil on a recent 1380 mile road trip. Car didn't leak any oil before I left and didn't burn much either. Oil residue is heaviest around the oil filter area and the passenger side of the car, but I see traces of oil all the way from the top of the firewall pad to the rear valence. I may have more than one leak. Engine bay got hot enough that the fuel pump vapor locked on the trip. Pushrod tube seals look good. Does this sound and look like failing oil cooler seals? How big of a job are they to replace?

In my experience, a blown oil galley plug or blown oil cooler seals will effectively dump ALL the oil RIGHT NOW. Like in seconds at cruising RPM. My money's on the oil pressure switch.
