Possible oil leak V70-XC70

I am using the LM "Motor Saver" and starting to see improvement for the slight oil leaks at front and rear crank seals and camshaft rear seal!

Tonight, on a road test I could smell raw oil, pulled the lower engine cover to find leakage at the cooler mounted to back side of oil pan. Is this a fairly common leak? The majority of leakage is in the vicinity of the cooler!

Figures I just placed an order with FCP last night!

Yes, depending on year. There are a few youtube's on this.

Thank you KlausC, I searched other sites, but none reported the seals as a cause of failure! I did remove the cooler and witness marks on the left were partially washed clean, the right left a solid impression of contact!

Unable to contact FCP to add new seals to my order?

Dealer has new seals. The O rings don't cost a fortune.
