    So my 4.6L didn't come with a towing package and therefore didn't come with an oil cooler. Because I offroad and camp a ton, I needed one to due the transmission getting hot.

    So I installed an aftermarket transmission oil cooler for a dually.

    I've noticed that there some sweat or oil on the cooler itself but no where else. I've tightened those clamps down. Any further, I might collapse the inlet.

    Is this normal? I'm going to take it by a mechanic for them to check the oil level but I 100% am not f***in with it.

    Definitely looks like it is leaking but not at the clamp. Are you sure the first row weld is intact?

    I'll double check later on to make sure. I'll give you an update

    The metal on metal wore down the oil coolers metal on top and its slowly leaking. I ordered a new one and I'll use some rubber as a bushing on the reinstall.
