has anybody heard of the oil cooler csing craking? mine did :shrug:
had oil changed by dealer, drove away, no problem, drove it home, then the next day put it away in storage, almost 2 weeks later, pulled it out last saturday and oil gushing out, of course dealer closed. finally tuesday , I pulled it out again, looked underneath and saw oil squirting out of what looked like the drain plug, ... get it towed back to dealer, they hoist it up and found it leaking from a hole/crack in the housing of the oil cooler? what could have caused it? could they have tighten it too much? or bad part?

JB to the rescue , i guess has been a problem in the past with others and posted here, the shaft that the oil screws onto, sometimes turns off slightly when unscrewing the filter and also screws up the O rings. may not leak right away, but later after it works loose. saved monet on that one. :banana:
