Oil cooler / filter housing gasket 2012 L322

[james S]

hi guys I have a mild oil leak om my car, just smells a bit and I get a little smoke from the back of the engine. Garage, who has always been good, though not a specialist, is quoting a day's labour to do the job, but other forums are discussing much less. Is there a quicker way to get at it, they are perhaps unaware of? Thanks

To get to the oil cooler you need to remove the inlet manifold on top of the V and a few other bits. It shouldn’t take a whole day though, for a competent mechanic...
