Oil leak in oil cooler
Is it leaking from oil cooler to engine compartment and dripping oil on ground? Some oil coolers have an engine coolant supply. If that type, if there’s a leak it can provide a path from coolant into crankcase oil, and that would be very bad news and must be addressed asap.
You REALLY should fix that immediately! Bring LOTS of money.

I recently had a PS fluid leak at the cooler of my 2007 Town and Country van. Fortunately heard the changes in the PS sound before anything was ruined (knock on wood.) Topped up the fluid, diagnosed the leak, and let the van sit until I installed an OEM cooler that I ordered on line. The van is back to enjoying its golden (over 195,000 miles) years.
Yeah, you don’t want to lose those vital fluids!
