Thanks, Anders. Sounds like it is the full job or nothing then. I took the car for a 20 min drive and it appears that by tightening the 19mm hex, I have slowed the drip at the oil line. Not eliminated but it's down to an ooze instead of a faucet-like drip. (Earlier today it was so bad I was hesitant to drive the beast for more than an hour. My wife was really bothered by it also.) I'll monitor it very closely now but I suspect replacement will be needed soon. I do have instructions from the basic engine manual.
Q: my EPC shows that the lower gasket (oil cooler to block, 4502498) has been replaced with a "flange sealant" (4770202). OK. But then do I still put 8152381 in the groove as instructed? I guess one is a "gasket maker" the other is a sealant so you can use both? Is this protocol? BTW, 8152381 is superceded by two numbers, currently "flange sealant" 8395691.
If anyone who knows can answer, please let me know. I already feel like I'm milking the board and Anders for too much help!
Thanks, Derek / 1994 900 S V6 142,000mi
