Oil Cooler Gasket Change

[John1988]

Thanks for this DIY! My dads 06 Murano had a oil leak, and asked me to figure it out. Quick search on Google and this thread popped up, figured I'd give it a shot. Dealer charged me nearly $12 for the gasket, had no choice but to bend over and buy it, since he wanted it fixed that day. Old one was orange and less thick (was still in pretty good shape), but the new thicker black one fixed it! One mistake I made was pulling the coolant hoses off without clamping em off, lets just say I had to go buy some new coolant lol.

So the oil leak was fixed, but noticed coolant leaking throughout the week now. Turns out one of the hoses had a small crack, dealer wanted $12 for it and had to special order it. Ended up going to Oreilly's and buying 1ft. generic hose for $1 and cut it to spec.

At the end it was not hard at all- thanks to your DIY! Saved us a lot of time and money. Cost around $30 (gasket, coolant, hose, and a 22mm deep socket).

Thank you!
