    Yargh- oil cooler leak!

    It appears I may need to pull the oil cooler on my '68 to see if it is the O rings leaking or the cooler itself. Can I do this with the engine in the car? It's the stock Behr cooler on the engine. Thanks!

    If it still has the 68 fan shroud it will have to be removed to gain acess to the top nuts. The later cars had a panel that could be removed to get the cooler off without droping the motor.
