Oh come on,,,give me a break !.

Not a bad result ! Check again after you've had it for a run. I wouldnt think its too desperate and imagine you can still run her but keep a very close eye on the oil level mate. It could well be that it has a minor leak in the oil cooler and oil does tend to appear more than it is when its in the header tank. Just bear in mind that if the cooler does give way it will dump all the oil into your water. Think I would sort it as soon as ;)

But obviously out of stock !

Isn’t there a Product something like ‘Radweld’ But for Minor Oil seepage Or Leaks that I can add as a temporary measure to give it a fighting chance until I can sort it properly end of Next month.

yes but thats for water leaks. Not sure if theres anything to help with your problem though as it would need to be added to the oil. Not something I would be happy to do.
 
Yeah, Sorry I DID mean for the OIL,
I found this -

& in like a few of the others available it kinda says it’s ok with Seals, Rubber & Neoprene Whitch is what a lot of the other products actually attack...

Any thoughts !
 
Is it possible to do away with the original cooler (blank/bypass whatever) then fit an external oil cooler and fan?

Oil is the engine lifeblood NZ so you are better sorting than codging if possible. That does seem a bit pricey but I have only ever bought for cars (2.5 V6 though) and that was many years ago

Good to see the picture, during the winter taking it easy you would get away with not having it,

just linking up the hoses together,

but it is so hot at the moment that doing that would be risky.

Yes get the garage to fix it for you if you are not sure about doing it.

Me I am too tight, after oil cooler replacement I would be washing it out with biological washing powder !
 
Okay ..... the only reference to this I can find is a supplier in Holland (I think) Bart Ebben. Looks like the right one, unfortunately out of stock. Cant find one listed on fleabay even.
As an aside, if you want to prove that it is the oil cooler, if you take off the two water pipes and join them together with a bit copper pipe (bypassing the oil cooler) and run the engine. If you get oil dripping from the oil cooler then it proves its dodgy.
I appreciate you may be limited in what you can do given the fact you're living in the van but it just a suggestion of a way forward.

Could it be bypassed and fed to a separate oil cooler radiator mounted behind (or in front) of main radiator using cooling airflow twice Harrow? Once did this for cooling auto transmission fluid on a Saab and it worked okay but this is a bit different

Not advisable with this engine ,for the cost of a cooler why wreck an engine I worked wi5h Peugeot for a many years and please Paul just fit the cooler mate.
 
The way these work is a bit different Nabs, The "oil cooler" is actually just a heat exchanger, transferring heat from the oil to the water which is cooled by the radiator on the water cooling system. It can be bypassed by joining the two water pipes which would obviously stop the oil getting into the water BUT then you are left with an oil leak. Oil leak could be stopped by connecting a pipe between the two connections but that would be subject to oil system pressures and would mean running without an oil cooler.
 
I agree with Gordon. Its the only way to go, sourcing the new part may be problematical though.
 
Just realised the dealer name Bart Ebben is actually a used part supplier. Its the only place I can find the part listed, which probably doesnt bode well !

Yes Matey as I said I’m going to have a New cooler fitted, No Question, It’s actually ‘Finding’ one & Trying to do what I can to have a bit of Piece of mind that I’m NOT going to be making it worse in the Mean Time !.

The Thunbnail Dave posted looks like the onevto me, But as he then says,,,Being the only supplier doesn’t bode well on the price & availability front .
