How easy is it to break the lines on the stock oil coolers? The reason I ask is because I have a pretty significant oil leak from the cooler. I had just installed the engine and cooler with new seals. I have checked all of the other normal oil leak locations and they are all ok (sender, plugs...). It clearly is from the cooler. The leak is significant.
I changed the seals a few days ago and the leak is exactly the same as it was. When I installed the cooler when I rebuilt me engine, I wasn't paying attention and put the cooler studs into the fins and not through the correct holes. It went through pretty easily. Is it possible that I broke the cooler from doing this? I find it hard to believe that my seals are bad considering that I just changed them again. |
