Well, I started to get a new decent size oil leak onto the left header.
Traced to crack in round edge of oil cooler, not the welds. This is the cooler from NLA Parts which is less than 3 years old. This is a stock photo, mine is not out of the car yet. Anybody had problems in this area? |

Everyone is using the same supplier. Patrick, Stoddard etc.
This is a good place to use if you ever find an original or you want the one you have tested and repaired. Aviation industry frowns heavily on leaks. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif) http://www.oilcoolers.com |
