    Excellent video, thanks so much for sharing with us. I have a 2014 Jeep Cherokee Trailhawk(yes a purposed money pit for Chrysler 😡). I was four houses away from coming home and pulling into my driveway, and my upper radiator hose burst(of course at the cheap plastic fitting they use) shooting coolant everywhere in my engine bay. I immediately pulled in and shut the car down. I replaced the complete hose, refilled with coolant and had no leaks on start up. I let it warm up and the heat was working great, and no overheating. Today I went to start it up and the coolant was almost empty in the reservoir. I refilled it. I started it up to back it up to look for leaks under it, and I couldn't find any. Then I looked at my reservoir and the coolant got darker, I checked my oil level and it had dropped below minimum. Three years ago I replaced a leaking oil cooler already( we know that's a pain in the nuts). Could you give me any suggestions to check first? Did I blow the head gasket, crack the block or damage the air cooler I installed? Coupled with the 4WD not engaging I am really starting to hate this Jeep 😡😡 Any suggestions or help would be greatly appreciated 😊 Jeep should buy this back from me, and end this nightmare they created!! Thanks so much.

    I really don't think oil cooler are a mechanic necessity but something which modern engineers designed to increase number of parts in a cars that can break and increase after sale profit. A car can cool off using water jackets and radiator system.

      Because of vehicle reaching higher temps quicker due to enviro parts such as egr , dpf and else, oil cooler is just another way to cool engine quicker not relying solely on coolant

    Wow, great video for sure, I have developed oil leaks with my oil cooler and unfortunately, a slow coolant leak that I can’t seem to find, and brown discoloration a little bit at the bottom of the coolant over flow tank. I hope I can figure this out. I think I’ll do a leak down test on the coolant system. Hopefully I’ll get an answer.🙏🏻✝️

    I have 2013 nissan latio1.2cc engin e. Its engine has been overheating quite some time now. Engine check light is on. I have replaced the thermostat and water pump. The cooler cap is okay. Now its still overheating. I am confused now. Then i saw this video. But i checked the oil cooler it has no signs of leak. Only leak was on transmistion pan. What should i do? Also the antifreeze fan has little bit of wobble. I am currently thinking about replacing the fan.

This has been going on for the past 3 months, also the oil temperature is higher than normal but not overheating, the coolant is at a perfect 200 degrees and have a oil leak. car runs perfect, no white smoke. 80k miles.
