oil leak

[teddypenn]

what would cause the oil to leak from the oil cooler line where it bolts to the pan? it looks to be coming from the inside bolt on the flange (or whatever its called). i put on a new pan a couple weeks back, and didnt have any problems with it till 2 days ago. could a bad or pinched o-ring be the culprit?

There is an o ring at the ends of the oil cooler lines...where they mate to the block or cooler.

if the o ring isnt seated correctly would it cause oil to leak from the bolts?

Replace the o-ring and it will fix it IMO

yup, check out the o-ring

changed the o-ring today. cost me 3 bucks, and no mor leak. turns out there wasnt even one there; guess it fell out when i changed out my pan and didnt notice. sure am glad it wasnt something else
