	I wouldnt take the chance driving it with a bust oil line or whatever, You state oils pissing everywhere then you state its a little leak, whatever how much its leaking id look for the problem rather than driving the car to find where the leak/problem is. could save ur engine!

	i've heard bad things about mocal and this is another one thats just put me off, i'd already decided against mocal anyway

	DO NOT take it for a drive! take it off, inspect. Use some PTFE tape on the fittings (oil degrades it but it will help seal it) You should be able to see any splits on the pipes whist running them through your hands (if they are non braided) Cooler should open well before 90deg by the way.

	Had the same happen to me on my old Corsa LET before and turned out to be one of the rubber hoses had started to cut away on one of the edges of the inner arch where the pipes where running across. My money is on one of the pipes possibly running against something sharp and splitting.

	guys oil cooler fucked up oil is pissing out everywhere whats the most likely cause, the oil cooler itself or a split hose? its only like 3 months old, mocal cooler with the rubber? oil hoses place bets on what it could be, oils everywhere so i cant see exactly where it's coming from and because its right behind the bumper its difficult to see, gunna try clean it all tomorrow and take it for a drive but the cooler doesn't open until like 90c so need a hard thrash to get it to open up only seems to happen when ragging harddd so maybe when the oil goes really thin?
