The Scorpio also uses the front radiator to cool the oil as well as having the front oil cooler.

The oil cooler pipes are one thing to watch out for they are very exposed and can let go at any time.
The oil cooler pipes and diagrams can be seen on this page

Incidentally the diesel has the same cooler (despite being a manual!), but it is used for cooling engine oil rather than gearbox oil...
