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



Oliver,


Thanks for the input ----  I'm frustrated to hear that tightening the bolts
didn't do the trick --- I don't want to have to take it back to the dealer
and wonder how long I'm going to have to leave it.  Please do post your
solution as quickly as you can --- maybe I can fix it myself and not lose
any more road time.
