Has anyone replaced the oilcooler gasket next to the oil filter on the TDV8. Is is pig of a job or can you do it fairly easily. I have looked at the manual and it does not really show what has to be removed to remove the cooler assembly.
My car has an oil leak worse than the Exxon Valdez running down from the rear of the engine. I cannot see from wher the oil leak comes from but I assume it is the oil cooler.

That is odd as there is a 15 page section dedicated to removing the oil cooler in the copy I have, it also looks like it is a 'O' ring seal where the cooler mounts to the engine not a gasket.

The workshop manual that I have doesnt have a 15 page section dedicated to the oil cooler removal. Can you point me in the right direction where to get this.

Can some one point me is the right direction for the oil cooler removal procedure.
I have taken my car of the road until the oil leak is fixed.
I cannot find the 15 page section (as indicated below) in my manuals.

You need either the 2007-2009 or 2010-2011 edition of the workshop manuals then for the TDV8 engine then.

Thanks

I am about to order parts for the oil cooler leak. I was looking at replacing the EGR valves at the same time. Are there any other part I should consider getting so that I only have to diassemble the inlet manifold once.
