Oil cooler thermostat gasket?
First time posting (long time lurker). My wife's E70 4.8l recently started leaking oil on the driveway. I got under the car and noticed that the leak comes from around the alternator. After cleaning the area and putting dye in the oil, I saw fresh oil dripping from one of the cooler lines. Does everyone concur that this is the dreaded oil cooler thermostat gasket?
