Very likely the big 0-ring behind cooler. Couple bucks at vendor/dealer. I bought a couple extra. Did mine in driveway one Michigan winter. Remove filter, loosen cooler hoses, remove nut holding oil cooler, replace o-ring and re-assemble. Wrestling with hoses with cold fingers was only unpleasant part. Great oportunity to replace those hoses!

Looks like its at the oil cooler engine interface but its difficult to tell exactly. Lost about a quart in one minute. Is this a big job? Got down in the single digits last night. Needs an oil change anyways. Don't have Bentley with me since I'm still stranded at school. Any input would be appreciated. Mike Kozak 87 westy
