No, Mike, but it's a bitchin' job. The O-ring between the engine case and the oil cooler has queefed out, most likely because or the Articlike conditions. It is hard to replace the O-ring because the coolant lines to the oil cooler have to be removed. One strategy is to cut off the molded rubber coolant line transition fittings and replace with new. Then, the only hardship which remains is installing the hose clamps. Oh, yeah, pinch off the coolant system to reduce coolant loss.
