    Found an oil leak when doing oil change, filling the oil filter guard, coating side of battery & below. Hadn't made it to the ground yet. Changed filter & oil, leak came back, very slow. Any one else get a leak here? From an older post I see there is a gasket in the cooler. Thanks

    Gasket in my oil cooler did turn out to be the problem. They saved the old one for me, had become hard & stiff, new was soft & compliant they said.
