Greatings all.

I was under the van yesterday checking for exhaust leaks( tail pipe end of
muffler  has holes)
when i noticed a steady  leak of oil from the back side of the oil  cooler
which ran down the filter.  yep the " O " ring had let loose. 4 hrs  latter
swaped and back together. Good thing i don't make my living doing this or  I would
starve. ; )..   Beleve it or not the dealer acyually had the O  ring AND the
two coolant hoses for the cooler.

Ben T--- Great idea and method to make a pressure tester on your  site.
