    Truck doesn’t leak at all over night. Drips a little at start up in the morning off the bottom of the oil cooler. Valve covers just done and no leaks there. Is it the cooler o-rings and if so why does it only drip in the mornings

    it could initially leak from being cold and then expanding due to heat...

    C3223953-2E58-4BC2-AC22-F2452FFE3CC5.jpg It’s cheap to fix, there’s an o-ring on the backside of the oil cooler and the bolt at the center has a gasketed washer- part numbers are correct in the pics. I’d just replace it, it’s not going to improve and can start to leak a lot
