PO says the oil leak is due to the oil cooler seals and that they need replacing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Maybe the nuts just need to be snugged down a tad more, I dunno. Anyway, can I easily get to the oil cooler with the engine in the car? Looks like some engine tin needs to be removed but... Suggestions or previous experience out there? I'm really not in the mood to drop the engine and tranny (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

I just did cooler seals on my '76 last week. Fairly simple job from below. Spin off the filter, remove the 13mm bolt on the outboard bracket, then the two 10mm cooler nuts you can see. Use a 1/4 ratchet with a deep socket to get the third nut. Slide the cooler away from the block and wait until the oil drains. Blast everthing clean with some brakeclean. I made a tool from a piece of coat hanger to hold the seals, then with a thin screwdriver pressed them into place using a little brown permatex so they stayed. Took about 1 1/2 hours.
