After reading scores on the above topic here, I have carefully examined the oil cooler plate and see only a super slight bit of gunk around it, which I think came from the previous leaking t-stat. However, I have had to top off the coolant res a couple of times which was before I recently replaced the water pump.
This all came about because the t-stat went bad and caused the radiator to burst.
I plan on keeping it another few years, but hate to mess with resealing the oil cooler plate if not necessary. Like my Dad once told me, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
I considered retorquing the screws to the plate without resealing, but wonder it that would cause it to leak for some odd reason.
I have no oil/coolant mixing, but do have the car apart.
