It was a bit of a bugger to do, but Daz worked his wonder and looked effortless  :y

Key was getting down to the oil cooler and be able to remove easily.  Plenum and Sandwich plate came off and oil cooler pipes (both ends  :D which was a bugger at the oil filter end :-\ ).  Cooler and it's plate was removed and plate and block cleaned like a new pin and re-sealed with appropriate sealant.  Oil cooler was in fine condition so reused it but we used new Dowty washers for the oil pipes as not want them leaking oil  :) (and don't bend pipes when moving).  Once off it had cooled for a few hours and we could see where it was then starting to track down the sides of the cooler plate, onto the block on both sides of the V and towards the back of the engine and then down each side of bell housing.

I would not have done it, as rather a lot of stuff came off before started putting things back  :D but luckily Daz had done a few before  ;) and was using "the force" Luke  :)
