I have a leak on my oil cooler seal, a big one. can I remove it without dropping the engine or removing the fan shroud? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sheeplove.gif)

Yes you can. It can be a PIA, depends upon how small your hands are. George's Tech tips from AutoAtlanta outlines it. I think Pelican Parts might also outline the procedure.

Either these cars are made to drive us nuts or I am seeing things.
It was leaking yesterday about 1 drop every 5 second. for the 10 minutes idle, i think I lost about 1/4 of quart. still on the floor as proof that I am not loco. This morning I decided to make sure that the oil was not dripping from my pressure switch as suggested here on most threads. There was no sign , pressure switch area is dry. I wiped the oil, started the car and let it idle for 30 minutes and rev it every now and then, there was no leak. has anyone experienced this before? |

I forgot to mention that the only thing I did between the change ( from leak to no leak ) was setting the dwell to 49 from 68

Did you top the oil? Maybe you lost too much.
Check that the leak is not from under the dizzy retaining bracket. |
