Oil leak - please help



Valve cover seal is one of the more usual places to leak from, however,
that should be pretty visibly noticeable.  My best advice would be to
get some engine cleaner, hose the engine down pretty good and let dry,
then run the car and look for your leak since it should show up allot
easier with a clean engine bay.

Would hate to also say that something may not have gone right when you
changed out the oil cooler seal.  So look there as well.  Also check the
oil pan gasket and make sure the pan bolts are tight, but not over tight
(could strip them/crush the gasket causing a leak).  These are some of
the basics, others may know some more specifics as I've only had my
rocco for about 9 months.
