I've been having a slight engine oil leak since last fall. The leak is getting worse now and needs attention. I jest had my valves adjusted at a local shop and asked the owner to look for the source of the leak. My suspicion was confirmed that the leak was coming from the oil cooler. Apparently there are seals where the cooler attaches to the engine, and that is what is leaking. The shop wants to pull the engine to fix this leak, but I'm thinking of trying to fix it myself. Is it possible to get to the oil cooler and replace the seals by removing engine tin, or dose the engine have to come out?
