mariovr6 0 Posted July 5, 2006 just put a new seal on the oil cooler and after all that trouble getting the ring to fit :twisted: it turns out its coming from elsewhere!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its looks like its coming from the top of the upper oil filter housing maybe from a senor? is it senors that sit in the top of the oil filter housing? if so how the hell do i get to them?

corradovr6sc 0 Posted July 5, 2006 You need some new washers for the senders to get a good seal. I found the best method of getting at the oil filter housing from above is removing the grill and drivers side headlamp then you can get your arm in quite easily.
