Thanks for the replies to my post the other day about the oil leaking into the engine. I finally got the coolant system cleaned out again over the weekend and got a chance to check the oil cooler again. I had done it before with compressed air and dunked in water, and saw absolutely no bubbles. This time I did it on the engine with it running. What I did was to disconnect the coolant lines running to it and block them off. Then I fired up the engine and let it run for nearly 10 minutes with no leaks to be seen. With the engine warm I decided to go ahead hit the load start button and actually let the compressor come to the design pressure and put at least a little load in it...again, no leaks. So, I took it a step further and opened one of the valves so it could start blowing and put a real load on it. It went for maybe 5 minutes like that before I started seeing oil coming out of the open coolant ports on the cooler.
I don't know what part of the cooler is leaking but it didn't spill a drop until the engine hit between 150 and 160 degrees, and was put under a load. So, with the problem now identified without a doubt, there will be a new one going on tomorrow and the thing will finally be out of my hair.
Thanks again for the replies to my previous post. Wayne

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
