Oil leak from oil cooler/oil filter housing

right!?

I figured if you pull the oil housing off the block can you then get to all the bolts you need on the cooler and NOT have to break the waterlines, then replace the 2 oil seals?

just get yourself 2 hose clamps, and it will stop the flow of the coolant, and all you will lose is the little bit that's in the cooler.

I have the same issue at 94000 would this be covered under warranty?

Yes it would just make.sure you don't have any mods or they will void your Warranty

don’t you need to bleed the cooling system afterward if you introduce air into the system?? and don’t you need the dealership to use the electronic tool to open the thermostat??,

the amount is so small that you don't need to do that. I didn't, and it's been almost 2 years and 25,000 miles later, and I don't have any issues
