leaking oil cooler (not the o-ring) 900

Whoa - stop the press!

In researching this thing I have read that the green o-ring gets installed between the cooler & adapter. However I also read somewhere that the square (cross-section) seal should be installed in that location - between the cooler and adapter.

On closer examination of the old o-ring I removed, in a former life it does appear it had the square cross-section!!!!

I'm going to attempt to swap out the seal w/o draining all the coolant again.

I'm hoping this is the real issue currently, and that I'm not really getting a close enough view to see that the oil really is coming past the green o-ring and collecting in the seam area of the cooler before is drips down onto my face ... Just kidding, I get in close but try to avoid the drips.
