Hi all
I'm hoping someone can help me here. I'm a builder and mechanics to me is like a foreign language. I have noticed an oil leak at the front of my T25. Strange I thought all the engine etc is ad the back I the vehicle. I proceeded to take off the front grill and it looks like ther are 2 radiators. 1 large one and 1 small one the smaller of the 2 situated toward front of van seems to be leaking oil as seen in photo. Can anyone tell me what this mini radiator is can the leak be fixed or does it need relaxing. Is it a difficult job. I have limited tools. ( socket set and spanner set ) I would be grateful of any help. Please don't laugh at my lack o knowledge
Regards
RUSS

Thats an oil cooler.Im assuming you have an oil burner(diesel).If its developed a leak.Then it probably needs replacing.What engine are you running? You may get the rad of ebay.But you will need to take some measurements.

loads of them on ebay, the size you have will be pretty cheap. Probably £60 odd
