^ I told the guy you bought the car from to start with the oil cooler and see if it takes the oil out of the coolant resevor..he said the car did not get hot nor did it have a miss so I doubt it's the head gaskets..I would do a cylinder leak down and compression check all while I swapped out the oil cooler just to make certain that everything is good,welcome to the 32v world man your gonna love it

Technically its not a cooler, It acts more like a oil warmer.. More of an emissions thing..Mach1's dont have them...
