960 Oil Leak at Oil Cooler 900 1996

posted by  someone claiming to be Richard Shipman on  Mon Oct 8 13:03 CST 2001 [RELATED]

I've had a minor oil leak at the junction between the block and the oil cooler on my 1996 965 since I bought it about 6 months ago.

This weekend, I bought the necessary gasket and both o-rings required to do the repair.

Once I had the hollow bolt removed and I unstacked the oil filter adapter and the oil cooler from the block, it became clear why it was leaking... there was no gasket between the oil cooler and the block!

There was no sign that there had ever been a gasket installed... scarey!

Well, after installing the missing gasket and reassembling everything, my leak is completely gone.

Maybe the fact that my Volvo dealer charged $10.05 for that gasket explains why they were reluctant to install it originally :-)

Just sharing information in case this was not an isolated assembly error at the factory.
