Well I'm pretty sure that the leak that my car has always had is coming from the oil cooler. I never really bothered with it since it was a slow leak but it's gradually gotten worse and I finally go fed up with it and went to look into it today when I was changing the oil. I went to remove the nut on the oil cooler only to find that it was sooo loose I could turn it with my hand. So I tightened it down.
Now, I've also been loosing coolant, I can tell it's leaking out since I can see it around the same area that the oil was at. I've never taken the oil cooler off and never seen the back side of one (I searched for pictures), if the nut was loose would it be possible I was loosing coolant there also? I don't know if the coolant runs outside of the black section at all.
The water pump gasket was recently replaced, and I don't think that is the source, everything is coming from the passenger side of the motor.
