Everyone seems to be missing the fact that it looks like the leak is at the oil sensor (based on the linked pictures) the oil cooler is not the suspect anymore. (although those are all good tips for doing that o-ring replacement). I have never replaced that sensor before but I hear it can be a bear because of the tight quarters in there. I think (although I could be wrong) you might find something about this on ben's website: http://www.benplace.com/
