It seems my 92 FD3 has sprung a wee leak, oil seems to be dripping (slowly) from the front left (as you look at the front) not having had chance to get in there and have a look, a cursory inspection the wee radiator thats behid the vent seems to have taken a bit of a battering and has quite a bit of oil on it.
is the small rad an oil cooler?
if so im guessing that either its damaged or there is a split pipe in the area leaking the oil any ideas on the best way of taking a look? and the rough costs of replacement if damaged etc
cheers for any help guys
Yes the small rad is an oil cooler. Type R has oil cooler on both sides. Not sure how you would get to it, remove the wheel arch lining perhaps.
Andrew at Jimmy\'s should be able to supply a good used one.
cheers i have a type UK and theres an identical one on the other side but no leaks there 8oD
was gunna try jimmys as they have got me stuff cheap and fast before,
but ill take a look @ it first incase its just a split pipe 8oD
i need to take the air box out to change a pipe anyway so i might ttry that and have the bumper off
