Has any one had a problem with the gear box oil cooler. The one in front of the water radiator it’s a round tube with a spiral coil wrapped around it.



Mine has a leak between the fitting where the pipe comes from the gear box and the start of the coil. It seems to be caused because of a rust patch and the oil is leaking through.



If anyone has had this, were you able to repair or was a replacement needed. The replacement cost seems to be more than a new radiator. £165.00



Many thanks for any advise.

PS Looks like I should have done a search first as the same question has been asked before any one else got a redundent one.
