If the coolant servicing has been historically poor, I've seen oil cooler plates corrode badly, which normally leads to a massive leak.
Well i've stripped it down to the inlet manifold and all the pipes into the bridge area are dry and intact, if I add water you can see it run both directions under the manifold so looking like your guess is right and the oil cooler failed. I need a proper torx set to get lower as a few bolts are solid but I will get there for my own interest.

Opps  :-[

Are both cars pre 1998 or both post 1998?  The ABS hydraulically changed with minifacelift, going from 3 channel to 4 channel.

If the answer to that is yes, then as long as they are both from same engine adn gearbox setup, should be fine.
