1. Remove oil filter.
2. Remove rather large skinny nut on pipe that the oil filter screws on to.
3. Remove coolant hoses on oil cooler.
4. Remove oil cooler.
5. Replace leaky o-ring.

Reassemble in reverse order.

Thanks man I figured that out minutes before your post, that cooler was a biiiootch to get off due to corrosion of the lines and a badly placed clamp.

You can do it without disconecting the coolant lines. I've done it many times. Usually the seal doesn't go bad the nut that holds the sandwich plate to the flange loosens up.

Tried without undoing the coolant lines there was no way in hell it was coming off, the seal was flat and had a split in it so it was definitely bad. Got her all put back together and fixed however it would of been able to do it a lot faster had the B.S. air-conditioning not been in the way. :td:
