| There's 2 types of oil leak from the cooler. 1 from the O rings as you mentioned, then also a gasket (2 gaskets) failure on the cooler itself. If you go to the top of this topic and follow the comment ... |

| Well done on the repair. Very strange having the bolts shear, especially when there's a rubber gasket below. |

| At least it's not an oil leak!! I was suspicious of that connector when I did mine. Seamed to connect too easily and I couldn't feel any O ring or something slide over the male part. Seemed to form a ... |

| Mine kept smoking for a few trips. The oil collects in the V of the block and slowly trickles down. Just wait a couple of weeks and it will be gone. I went round a really sharp bend and got traction c ... |

| That may be the case, but if they change the compound of the gasket, they don't have to change the part number. The part number would still relate to a certain part that fits in a certain place. I wou ... |

| Well done on the pics. My dread was leaving a pipe off or a plug unconnected!! I put all my nuts etc in labelled bags so I didn't get them muddled up. Bit over kill tho. It's also worth making notes o ... |

| On my first fix I used Hylomar. Don't think it's necessary, but it may be worth it in the long term if your new gaskets start to shrink. Only time will tell that. |

| Pink coolant is all about the same. Check the oil on the shell website. They should have a vehicle check facility. I used Comma ECL5L 5L Ecolife Fully Synthetic 5W30 Motor Oil. Amazon does it for abou ... |

| Try and lift the cooler out level as possible, but it's tricky. I had coolant and oil everywhere though. Have plenty of rags handy and if ur unsure, do an oil change after. I did an oil flush and then ... |

Hello,
My airtake Dohnut shaped pipe work has thick gunky oil deposits. Naturally I cleaned most of that off. Don't worry about the low coolant unless it's using a lot. If a seal has gone you may loo ... |

| The gasket change is easy enough. A few more bolts to undo. You have an extra surface to clean. Not much extra work and it's only simple. Easy to do once you have the oil cooler out. One piece of advi ... |

| If you have the TDV8 4.4 diesel, they are the same as far as I know. The part number for the L322 is LR022895. They said the fit these 90% of the time and never had a return or an issue. |

FYI.
If anyone is after an aftermarket Oil Cooler for a 4.4 TDV8 in the UK, Malting Off Road near Doncaster do aftermarket ones for £162 Inc Vat. Comes with the bottom gasket and a new oils filter a ... |
