I sure hope she doesn't decides she likes being driven around!


I pulled to close to the curb while going for coffeee this morning, sudden gush of oil out the front below rad. It only takes a few seconds to put 8 litres of oil on the ground with engine running. Off quick; no damage and floated her home. Hopefully the guys at the shop here can do a good job of getting the cooler patched up after I get it real clean.

 

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

After replacing one of the leaking hoses to the oil cooler, I can tell you that everything for this job is sort of "right there". Should not be a massive labor bill. I replaced one of the four hoses with a kind of pricey Jaguar part, but some folks have the old ones refurbished at local hydraulics supply shops for much less. Others have even removed the cooler entirely, redirecting the output to the input with a short U-shape pipe. Apparently, some cars did not come with a cooler from the factory. Lots of options for you, I suppose.

Best of luck, keep us posted.
