    OIL COOLER? Should there be one? Oil leak maybe from oil filter housing bolts - GEN1

    Hey guys - thanks for all the input and advice - much appreciated. Finally got the truck home - here's the update: 1.

    OIL COOLER? Should there be one? Oil leak maybe from oil filter housing bolts - GEN1

    Thanks so much for the response! Yeah - someone must have pulled it out a while back... hoping I can either find a used OEM or maybe aftermarket. I torqued down the bolts that are currently there and that seems to be holding for now, but time will tell. I may swap out with the gasket if the leak...

    OIL COOLER? Should there be one? Oil leak maybe from oil filter housing bolts - GEN1

    Hi gang - first time post. I recently picked up a 1990 Montero LS (MT) - with fresh rebuilt engine. HUGE disclaimer - I'm not super savvy with engines or cars in general.
