Does the engine need to be removed to change the seals?
Any and all thoughts are appreciated! |

Don’t forget the possibility of leaking galley plugs (circled) or the gasket behind the oil filter (arrow)
All these look like leaking oil cooler seals from the bottom. The idea that you’re having to scope out these possibilities (both of the repair procedure and where it might be coming from) doesn’t bode well for the shop ![]() |

The idea that you’re having to scope out these possibilities (both of the repair procedure and where it might be coming from) doesn’t bode well for the shop ![]() My oil leaks turned out to be leaking oil galley plugs after first suspecting the oil cooler. After pulling the motor apart, inspection revealed the culprit to be galley plugs in the vicinity of the oil cooler. The leaks had shown up after an oil change done by a garage at the request of a body shop and the sump had been overfilled by 1.5 quarts. We replaced nine oil galley plugs with threaded plugs. In view of this, I recommend pulling the motor for a thorough inspection of the area when you replace the oil cooler. Less work in the long run. |
