Guys,

I am getting mad with this oil leak, so to recap:

1) The oil cooler gasket has been replaced in January, genuine Volvo, the squared one.

2) I change the oil filter and installed the MANN, hand tight as it should.

3) I checked the thread of the cooler, it is perfect, also because I never over-tightened it.

4) I turned the engine on, idle for 15 min. everything sounds good, but here is what happens:



Damn it!

Is this the oil cooler itself?? Or possibly that side of the adapter?
There is only a gasket in that area, how is it possible that the cooler leaks?

As always, I am totally at your mercy for help.

Thank you guys,
Alessandro
