1998 'S' esprit GT3 is poorly
noticed an awful lot of oil around drivers side front wheel arch and sill area
took o/s/f wheel off and investigated and found there is a small oil cooler hidden in bumper in front of the wheel
where the bottom pipe comes out of the oil cooler the flange has cracked and engine oil has leaked out (luckily not lost all all engine oil or could have lead to a major catastrophe)
I have now removed the oil cooler after a lot of swearing and fiddling and upon examination part of the flange is cracked off and still in the pipe so it looks like either a new oil cooler or a repair to it and the pipe

Does anyone on here have any suggestions on where/who to go to for repair/parts ?

thanks in advance
