Do they have a water cooled oil cooler?
Re: eBay 996 build thread
Interesting thread here suggesting the oil coolers can be brand new, and be buggered.
So if you get the old one off (apparently do-able without dropping the engine, but way easier if you do...) and a pressure test shows it's buggered, get the replacement pressure tested too before it's fitted.
(assuming I'm not mixing parts up or something)
Fingers crossed, and all that.

That’s a lot of oil in a short space of time, is it only oil in the coolant tank you can see ?

Arse. As SJ says, worse case is a V8 swap, and it may be something less serious.

Balls. That's very disappointing, Rev. Fingers crossed it can be fixed without junking the motor.

Fingers crossed Dave
I was going to have a go on this tomorrow, not so sure now !

Back in the day the oil cooler failed on my 2.8i Capri and did the same as in the pic. I made the mistake of taking the heads off first though.

Hope it’s something silly and simple..

Re: eBay 996 build thread
That’s a very good thing. Can the oil cooler be tested in-situ ?
