After two years of ownership..the oil leak is getting fixed!
Bypass is in, is currently not leaking. I still have a small drip due to there being so much reseant oil from the last time I drove it. Pressure is fantastic, and on a side note, I also will make this note for anyone who needs to buy a new nut when they install an oil cooler bypass: it it an M8 (8mm) nut and the thread pitch is 1.00, at least on my car, but if you buy an M8 and the pitch is 1.25, it won't thread on. I originally had to buy a new one cause I stripped the threads out of the original.
No more leak from the oil cooler housing. But, it still bloody leaks, even though everything up on the top of the motor had no signs of leakage. The filter housing was fine, so was the dipstick tube seal and the deal for the oil filler. There seems to be a film of oil all over the pan, and periodically spray back onto the exhaust. I don't have a lift so I can't get underneath to look..
