Oil cooler leak

[batever]

I finally got around changing the o-ring, which only cost me 4.27 with taxes included and it was fairly easy. the hradest part was trying to take the old o-ring off, i had to take it out by poking it with a small pocket knife lol. I lubricated it with new engine oil and put on the cooler, i do not know why people say that it is really difficult to hold it in place, becasue it falls. Mine stuck on there right and did not have any issue falling off, i also did not take the coolent lines off the cooler; so no messing around with the coolant haha. everything went smooth and if anyone has any questions i would be happy to answer them.

yay one less leak

Thanks for the update, Juan, and for incuding the diagram. I will be doing this job sometime this or next week--I just got the o ring today my the local dealership.

So was it a 30mm socket that you used? I know someone else said 1 1/8 inch, which is equivalent to 28 or 29 mm..... but I'm not sure if he meant for a Honda.

Her cooler had an internal fracture and oil was seeping into the coolant system from there. A honda replacement will run you $350. The o-ring/gasket is less than $4. I just sealed the crack with a nickel brazing rod and a mapp gas torch. So far so good. Hope this helps!

NICE!!!! Good save!
