[QUOTE="fastback brian, post: 10034827, member: 4701"] That small orange O-ring on the shaft has nothing to do with any possible oil leak.. As far as I can tell its there just to keep the cooler centered on the shaft... that shaft is suppose to be torqued down pretty tight, 40-45 lb-ft.. Now there can be 4 oil leak spots, two most common are at the block gasket and the other from the weep hole in the cooler.. the oil cooler has four large and the one small orange O-ring.. two O-rings seal out coolant and the other two seal out oil, they one large O-ring on the outside and there is one just on the inside the cooler.. the shaft keeps them tight but if it leaks out the weep hole then the inside O-ring is done, the same for the outside O-ring. You can remove the cooler part from the housing and replace the inside O-ring, its the same as the outside O-ring... I should probably take and post some pictures of cooler apart... But first things is first, re-torque the oil filter shaft, 40-45 lb-ft. thats pretty tight and will feel like somthing is gonna strip or break so use the correct tools.... [/QUOTE]
