NO clue, I think you should just be able to use some residue free electrical cleaner from your local auto parts store.

Im leaking coolant out of the oil cooler line, it appears all it needs is tightening.

um im not sure if i understand you, or if your confused. no coolant should be mixed with your oil. im guessing your leaking oil, if its comming from the oil cooler. but then again i have no idea. my sujestion is buy new hose clamps. the ford one really can only be tightend one time. when i changed my heater core i had to use a dremel tool to get a few off.

the anti-freeze runs through a coolant line that connects to the Oil cooler, that way the engine oil stays cooler.

oil goes to the oil cooler, water goes to the radiator. what are you talking about?

If you see oil with coolant, then you got a big problem...

NO lol blah guess I'll take a photo tomorrow when Im out there working on it heheh

well i know what the oil cooler looks like, if cooant is leaking in the area of the oil cooler then the only 2 possibilies are cooant is mixed with your oil, or coolant is leaking above the cooler drippping on to the oil cooler, or running down the hoses. your ether not explaining this good or your confused. ether way lets figure out where this coolant is comming from.

Coolant goes thru the oil cooler as well. The oil doesn't actually go thru the cooler.

Thank you for helping me here I was struggling hehe

huh why on earth do they call it a oil cooler if there is no oil. mine has never leaked so i assumed it was for oil. i think i might take it off and prove it to my self. i really dont understand you guys but since im out #erd, ill assume your right.

the 'cooled' coolant cools the oil as it passes into the oil filter IIRC
