[OT] 2L 16V Oil Leak - My New Winter Beater

[peter at thescirocco.com (Peter)]

That was already replaced, but I probably need to re-do it. (red rtv was
used with a new green gasket.

I could see it pouring out of the oil pressure switch before I replaced it,
but now I can't see where it's coming from.

Thanks,
Peter

 Replace the oil seal between the oil cooler and the block.
