If it has only been a week since they worked on it I would think they would check over there work and identify the leak.
The first time I took the car back after they did the oil cooler therm gasket, they confirmed it wasn't that and it was the UTCG and VCG. not sure how easy it is to have a good visibility of the oil cooler therm without taking bunch of stuff out of the way. their response was pretty quick. took them like 10 mins to call me into the shop to show me the problem.

I ran my hand down along the oil cooler lines and indeed I got fresh oil on my hand from around the thermostat. it would be a huge mistake to not replace the o-rings when they did the gasket!!

is it the same amount of work to replace the two o-rings?

thank you.
