Whats the chances of blowing an oil cooler gasket? my car is leaking oil from where my filter and oil cooler sits. it drips onto my block then drips down to my headers. i checked but its pretty tight down there to actually look up while the car is running, so its hard to indicate where exactly it is coming from. any ideas would be great thanks
They go out all the time on H22A4s, so I doubt the B-Series is any different.
Remove filter.
Use 30mm socket to remove cooler.
Go to dealer, grab new seal for $2.97
Pop it on
Tighten it up
Put filter back on
Drive around without smelling oil burn.
