I can't seem to keep a dry oil cooler for longer than a few weeks before it starts seeping out from the top seal again. It gets worse and worse until I tighten it up or replace the seals which never last that long either. I replaced the seals on my stock oil cooler a few times before I got a larger upgraded oil cooler. Now its been less than 3k miles and its leaking again. It was torqued to exactly 19 ft lbs when I installed it.
A few weeks ago it started leaking so I tightened it up a little and rearranged the coolant hoses so that they wouldn't work the cooler loose. Thought I had it whipped and now its leaking again. I also checked and doubled checked for cracks on both the cooler and the mounting flange. Anyone else have this issue? Do they even offer the top seal for an upgraded oil cooler?
