Just fixed an oil leak not too long ago and boom another one arises this time it’s my oil cooler and it seems like it’s cracked. Even replaced the seals thinking that was the issue.

That sucks i just eliminated mine. Adding an aftermarket oil cooler. Seems pretty common to do.

Ended up doing after market cooler. Derale oil cooler, 8 AN stainless line, 90° vibrant fittings , improved racing cooler adapter , GM coolant plug, gates 21508 upper radiator hose (had to slightly trim it).

Nice I just put a mishimoto cooler in mine with a earls oil supply plate. Looks almost identical to the Setup you have except the oil cooler. Yours looks bigger and mishimoto Kit comes with a nifty bracket that bolts to the cooler and then to the two bolt points that you have the zip tie going to in your first picture. I did find my front connection at the earls plate was leaking just a tad so I going to get up in there tonight after work and tighten it up a tad.

Yeah the mishi one is probably the only one that’s a direct bolt on kinda had to make mine custom took some time but I’m happy with it finally no more leaks again🤙🏼
