Purpose of engine oil cooler is to allow engine’s cooling system to remove excess heat from the oil. Engine oil is fed to oil coolers from an adapter that is located between the engine block and engine oil filter. The oil then flows through the tubes of the cooler while engine coolant flows around the tubes. Oil filter assembly housing contains oil filter for your vehicle. It allows the engine oil to be strained through the filter and remove foreign particles to keep your engine running clean.
If the oil filter housing is impacted or otherwise cracked, engine oil will leak. Running your engine for a long time with a leaking oil filter housing can result in extensive engine damage. If you are experiencing oil leaks above the transmission or near the cooler housing where the oil filter is, you may have a problem with your oil filter housing adapter which need to be replaced.
