Thread: Oil leaking from Oil Cooler

I Could not find out where my oil was leaking from in my avenir and it was progressively getting worse. Took it to a friend who has a shop and he told me it was leaking from the oil cooler. He told me I need a new oil cooler and gasket. The SR20DE did not come with one he said. Therefore he could not just order one for me. Does anybody know where I could pick one up? and how hard would this be to do in the driveway lol? THANK YOU!!

also, is this something that needs to be done right away? It doesnt leak when your driving, im guessing because of the pressure? so as long as I keep the oil at safe levels will it be ok? or do I need to park it? Thanks again

Any info would help guys...I have no clue where to get another oil cooler and gasket. Searching Google and the forum was no help

You could switch the oil filter housing to a highport de one that dont have the cooler it bolts right on. Sorta a pain to get to though.

Ok, so I will try to go yank one from a junk yard. Any gasket or anything required? or just rtv or something? lol

They have two "O" rings under it . If they are brittle then gregv sell them on here or can get you them atleast .
