[QUOTE="Cobra10thaniv, post: 16514835, member: 9578"] I was changing oil for winter storage, noticed a drip of oil behind oil filter and also behind aluminum oil cooler.. thought odd I couldn't have splashed any oil there. I grabbed the lower radiator hose and realized the whole alum cooler was loose! The threaded filter fitting is only thing that holds the cooler to the block. Filter and oil cooler just started to leak!. I'm very lucky I wasn't at high rpm. I talked to a long time ford mechanic. He has seen this in the alot in the past. He thinks they were improperly torque at factory an then few oil filter changes loosens oil filter cooler mount fitting each time filter is removed Just wanted share this so everyone inspects or does a retorque. Only takes cpl of min to keep you off the road side with no oil FYI 41-53ft-lbs. I did mine at 50[ATTACH=full]1669936[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1669937[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1669938[/ATTACH] Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the [URL=http://r.tapatalk.com/byo?rid=92568]svtperformance.com mobile app[/URL] [/QUOTE]
