Was: ... Its finally here(s)! - Oil cooler leak

["Oliver J. Mayer" <omayer@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Lance,  

   Congratulations on your new ST. I posted a message about my (possibly) leaky 
oil cooler a little while back. Per Eric's suggestion I cleaned it - only for 
it to gunk up again. I showed it to the dealer - their reponse 'Yep, looks like 
a leak.'. The mechanic tried to retighten the bolts while I waited. Nothing 
loose there. I'll be dropping it off next Saturday for them to take a closer 
look and replace the crankcase bolts while they are at it.
  I'll post any new developments.
