5th Generation Camaro - 2SS 6.2 liter - OIL COOLER LEAK | EASY FIX TUTORIAL

[@user-bc1kp1sl2e]

What did you notice about the car that made you change this part? Overheating? Leaking coolant from the back of the engine?

[@OhTheHermanity]

so it actually ended up being the oil pan that was leaking. The oil pan gasket is riveted to the oil pan and one of the rivets was right above the oil cooler. So it LOOKED like the oil cooler gasket was leaking. But it was in fact a factory design flaw with the rivet on the oil pan. It's a really dumb design. Hope that helps!

@@OhTheHermanity what did you do to fix the oil pan gasket? I know that cross member is in the way.

[@jf8461]

@@OhTheHermanity Thanks for that piece of information. Hopefully no need to drain coolant now.

Love to see it!

Awesome video Scott! Don't find too many people doing their own work like you do these days. I can do this kind of stuff to and I am only 20! Have a good one Scott.

[@richj8051]

Thanks. I’ve been trying to track down a leak behind the driver side tire. I will check my bolts before I remove the cooler.

[@RoadWarrior77]

It has been a common problem that the oil coolers themselves crack. Best thing to do is replace the factory oil cooler with an aftermarket one and block off the coolant lines. If you have long tube headers on, the factory oil cooler does not work very well, as the headers are right by the oil cooler.

[@isnowyazn]

Welp, I tried this, but it seems like the oil cooler surface, or the mount and feed that it goes to, onto the block, might be warped. It looks like it might even be leaking through one of the bolt’s threads.

[@markgreenwood7583]

Wondering how much you torqued down the bolts on the cooler and to the block. Good video and thanks for the info.

[@heavymetalfan0015]

This was actually helpful for me, I just recently started a new job at Advance Auto as a delivery driver, but I still have to stay in the store when I can and answer questions and pull parts, and it's funny cause I had a similar question today XD Long story short, I had no clue XD lol.

[@janecegreenwood7226]

Thanks for the video and part numbers. Question is what did you torque all the bolts down to? Mark

[@MultiToolkit]

number 4 part is a known leak point ,pressed in cap

[@Humble_Lyfe]

So I had some type of liquid leaking by the front driver side of the axle frame. At first I thought it was oil from motor or the transmission. And I end up realizing it was actually the radiator upper hose. Because you see the radiator upper hose. Is right close to the cool air intake.. and I tried cleaning the CAI One day, and while I was taking the cool air intake box (by the way this is bone stock CAI) I took the 2 clips that keep the cover of the air intake close, and when I tried to remove it. I pushed the cover of the CAI against the radiator upper hose causing a damage to the hose. This might help someone of you people. What I did. Since I didn't wanted to do much on the Camaro. I wrapped tape. It was good more a while. But since the motor produces heat waves under the hood. The heat penetrated on the tape. Causing the tape to loosen up and not sticking to well... This might help some of y'all. Cuz I to me it looked like oil but it's not... it's actually antifreeze that kinda looks similar to oil.

[@DIABLO_4_Tester_Sacramento]

What is the probability of an oil leak from the cylinder head gasket on a 2011 camaro ss L99? I changed the valve cover gaskets but still a week later I found oil coming from somewhere behind the engine ... No oil signs under round inspection cap.. Could you please advise :(

[@ivansotelo8163]

I'm dealing with same thing. I was told it was the oil cooler gasket.. now im thinking if its the oil pan.

[@_WizKing_]

Our 2011 camaro has sprung a tiny oil leak. We just figured it was the chevy drip. However. With recent oil changes. I am starting to notice that with full oil... it drips. It's like a watery oil mixture though... so could it be this referenced in the video? Regardless my tire shop is gonna replace the gaskets for me next oil change. So does antifreeze and oil run through the cooler?

[@scottscifers5428]

@OhTheHermanity what was your final assessment on this? When you realized it was a rivet in the pan what did you do?

I haven't been a fan for that long so I didn't know you had a whole other channel! *subscribed*

[@jordanspringer8]

ScottHermanFitness I'll hold you to it! :)

[@MG-jw9qg]

Thanks bro mine just started leaking a week ago and the dealer wants 1100 for replacement of the hoses

[@AliHamza-hw5rs]

Did you end up replacing the oil pan, mine just started but it's really bad. And if so, how much did the dealer charge?

[@christiangomes3405]

[@thomasdube3921]

+ScottHermanFitness nice well I guess you are multi talented in so many different things

[@abdullahh4131]

Hi sir, how are you , I am facing a problem, which is a high temperature in the engine oil for same car camaro SS 2010 . Is replacing the oil cooler the best solution ..?

[@luislechuga3450]

Hi did you find the problems my oil temperature is 250 that's normal?

[@abdullahh4131]

Yes, I found the solution, which is that I installed an oil cooler for an additional gearbox, and it is 40,000 units. You can try that and the problem will be solved.

[@69ChevyGarage]

Torque specs are paramount with anything with a gasket underneath. Anyone have the torque specs for this job?

[@jakelennon8999]

Daaaaamm Scott! Back at it again with Oh the Hermanity!! xD Great video man, it was quick but informative! Hey, do you plan to do any more mods to your Camaro?

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+Jake Lennon yeah and this time I am going to keep it going! I want to do a cam next. Would be INSANE! then headers and 3 inch pipes!

[@jakelennon8999]

ScottHermanFitness That sounds SICK!!

[@0872puma]

Are u planing on getting the new Camaro

[@ScottHermanFitness]

+javier buenabad no.. but I do want to get a new front bumper. I really like the one from Transformers 2

[@liamkneeson8866]

You the man thanks

[@maryv7160]

I have a headache from my car already. I have no idea where the little quarter size leak is coming from. I already had 3 ppl look at it and they cant find it. It only happens when after im done driving and park it. Maybe someone can help me pin it

[@Humble_Lyfe]

like I don't understand why GM literally put a radiator upper hose like really close to the CAI....... Does GM not see that you can just easily all the time risk that moment of damaging the uper radiator hose..... I see other vehicles such as Dodge and they have the upper radiator hose like way far apart from the cool air intake.

[@OhTheHermanity]

I actually recently beefed up my Camaro to 600 HP. All engine 🤗. We did new heads, cam, intake, exhaust. Anything and everything to really make that LS3 engine scream and we actually bought a relocation kit for the upper hoses to brings then down the left side of the engine. Its a sweet kit!

[@Humble_Lyfe]

@@OhTheHermanity I bet that thing can for sure Fly power of v8. You gotta love the sound either way.. I I haven't done any mods, then just X straight piped. Sounds loud....... love how I press the gas and hit at 3000 RPM, let go of the gas. (Pop X5). I appreciate for taking the time of making this video. Much blessing with the Camaro. Keep it shinning and drive simple. 2020. Around the corner. The first Camaro SS are going be already 10 years old. Imagine this car being old school. Probably going to cost a fortune on the long run. Who knows. I try to drive simple. Hoping that everyday one is assisted with positive energy.
