Title: oil loss
Post by gawsworthboy on Dec 7^th, 2005, 11:19am

Hi people, just started up the scorp after a very cold (-6) night and a huge pool of oil appeared beneath the car....I can see it leaking from a kind of mini radiator in front of the main radiator....is this an oil cooler...I have a 2.0 16valve saloon.
How do I replace this part?
Cheers

Auto Gearbox oil cooler or pipes?

Could also be the power steering cooler thats under there as well .
Both fairly straight forward to replace. The Power steering cooler is just a large "U" not an actual radiator.

Whichever one it is they're fairly easy to replace, just undo the small bolts and hose clips , although access is limited it's possible to work from above, using the gap between crossmember and radiator or from underneath using the bumper/air dam vents.
