It's coming from between the block and the cooler. I'm thinking the gasket went bad because when I changed my oil last night, I noticed my oil filter was on waaay too tight (last change was down at a Jiffy Lube while I was out of town). <br /><br />Question #1: is there a gasket there?<br /><br />Question #2: how much of a royal pain in the ass will this to be to fix in my driveway with basic hand tools (181 piece socket set, all the normal open ends and what not)<br /><br />Question #3: will it take more than an hour you think? I got fined $200 for working on my car for more than the 1 hour limit. Definitely don't want to do that again.<br /><br />Thanks for the help! <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blackcobra98</b> <br /><small>Member # 1078</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,3,16,51,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> You get your oil changed at jiffy lube? ewwwwwwww.... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>youl luz</b> <br /><small>Member # 53</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,3,19,25,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> its very easy to fix.. take off your filter and you will see the threded part it spun onto. You will need what looks like a big hex head wrench to insert into the fitting. Remove it and the oil cooler will come right off. There is 2 O-rings that could be leaking but not a big deal..Hope this helps.. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>Poisoned Pony</b> <br /><small>Member # 26</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,4,22,31,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Gabe, you're were right, 1/2" hex was needed. Picked it up today, went on anothe rpost on corral where a guy suggested that the cooler housing just might be loose. Well, it was, I tighten her back up, no more leaks <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> too bad I didn't find out about this saturday morning, rather than sunday so I could race <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> oh well, there's always next time.
