The oil cooler's connections are to the engine oil system. You'll find those lines connected to the engine block (likely near the oil filter) and routed to the radiator. These lines are usually made of metal (steel or aluminum) and are part of the factory assembly. Any issues you have would likely involve leaks within the radiator itself (requiring radiator repair or replacement) or a problem with the oil cooler's connection to the engine (likely a leak at a fitting or hose).
If you're having a problem with your Roadmaster's oil cooling system, focus on these areas:
* Inspect the oil cooler lines: Look carefully for leaks or damage along the entire length of the lines running from the engine to the radiator. Pay close attention to the connections at the engine and any clamps.
* Check for oil leaks at the radiator: A leak in the radiator itself, involving the oil cooler section, would require radiator repair or replacement.
* Look for low oil level: If you have an oil cooler leak, you'll likely see a drop in oil level.
* Check the oil for coolant contamination: If there's a leak between the oil and cooling systems, you may see milky or foamy oil. This is a serious problem.
If you're not comfortable inspecting these areas yourself, take your Roadmaster to a qualified mechanic. They have the tools and experience to diagnose and repair any oil cooler or related cooling system issues safely and effectively. Attempting repairs without the proper knowledge can lead to further damage.
