Oil Leak From Oil Cooler - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

When I did the Oil Change I notice Oil close to the filter, I cleaned the area and changed the Oil, recently I decided to take a look and notice oil again...

I read about loose srews on the oil cooler, mine where loose also so I tight them ...Have you had the same problem? It was resolved with that?

yes its a bad part- mine was replaced.. they said that earlier cars used different gaskets that would leak also i thnk they have updated the part- my dealer said mine was defective

I just found out today that I am a victim of the leak...it goes in tomorrow for an evaluation to see what needs to be repaired!~

They all do it!

Mine's doing it AGAIN! Had it in 2 months ago and they replaced the oil cooler adaptor gasket. I was under the car the other day and noticed that tell tale sign of oil under the adaptor again. It goes in next Monday!

Still waiting for the parts that the dealer ordered since 6 sept 2010..

Just picked up the car from the dealer for the oil leak. This time they said it was the oil pan gasket. The oil cooler was o.k. This is the second oil leak on my car, seems a little extreme for a brand new car with only 7000 miles on it.

had my oil cooler gaskets replaced last week and now my pan is leaking in 2 spots and i can see them bubbling. my dealer brings it to my house yesterday and said they ordered a new pan and new gasket .and have to replace something else also.they say its leaking from somewhere else also .this is bullshit .this is about a 5 hour job to replace this pan .this sucks

BlownSS · 10-09-2010, 06:02 PM

I got my oil cooler line fixxed.......so far so good!

Can anyone tell me the TSB for the oil cooler leak that requires a new gasket?

Hebe4 · 11-05-2010, 03:15 PM

I don't think there is a TSB but if you have a leaking gasket I'm sure the dealer will replace it. I'm going in for mine next week......and it looks just like the OP's.
