hi guys
quick question
sorry for being thick but does the oil cooler cool the engine or gear box oil
and if it cools the engine oil then would you see a drop in oil level if the cooler failed
thanks

Oil cooler, cools engine oil, if oil cooler has gone or going oil will be in your water system

it sits in the valley of the 'V' in full coolant flow, so good coolant maintenance is essential. If it starts to leak, then oil goes into the coolant system

There are 2 oil coolers on auto models

One in the V of the engine as said - and one in the Radiator, for cooling the auto transmission fluid

I expect it's the engine cooler you're referring to, though.

Do you have a fault, or are just curious?
