Consumer Description

Vehicle has 55k miles on it. Started leaking oil out of the blue over 6 oz per day. Looked around to try and identify where the leak was coming from and it was on the upper end of the engine. Thought it may have been the oil filter gasket, but my mechanic said the oil cooler was cracked. and he claimed that it is a very common failure for this make/model due to the part being made mostly of plastic components. Plastic parts in constant contact with 240 degree oil seems to be no bueno.
