Chevy Cruze Oil Cooler Seals/Gaskets Replacement - Oil leak Fix - Burned Oil Smell

Today I'm working on a 2012 Chevy Cruze with the 1.4L Turbo engine that had a oil leak on the oil cooler and the oil would leak into the exhaust.
When I called a Bud at the dealership for parts he knew exactly what I was going to need and send them all to me.

I have done many oil coolers but I have a lift. I don't remove the turbo or the exhaust manifold due to the oil return line being so brittle. I use a rachet strap and pull it back. And remove the cooler from the bottom of the vehicle. Saves a lot of time.

[@FalconsGarage]

Thanks for sharing

[@hordebutcher2651]

What do you mean taking a rachet strap and pulling it back a little?

[@jacksdaddy381]

I just finished my car. It took about 8 hours. Halfway into it I realised it was to much of a pain in the ass. Great video. Almost perfect step by step. I wont try anything this difficult again.

yeah .. this job is a little difficult

I HATE Chevy Cruze with a passion. My mom and my roommate both have one. Both have different engines from one another and I'm still constantly having to fix them craps. It's like every other week there's something wrong with them so they keep me busy. And if course, the reason I'm watching this video here is because one of them now has a P0067 code and leaking coolant and transmission fluid 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@ThatsWhatsUp9677]

Some parts of the audio is recorded w 2 layers of talking? Otherwise, great video. Thanks!

[@FalconsGarage]

yeah . noticed when editing .. but coudnt fix it .. sorry

[@williscurry6557]

GMs stupid for putting that tiny lil oil cooler behind the hot @ss turbo. They HAD to have done that to cause a leak on purpose. Guess with the intercooler in front they had nowhere else to mount that. At least they could have used something that wasnt going to leak & require all that labor.

[@nukenridge4921]

Okay one thing I learned is rusted bolts on exhaust flange might not come out so you might take off the bracket that is holding with 2 torx bolts so you can take off turbo

Damn that intro music is LOUD

[@gerardomendoza8416]

[@EphemeralProductions]

Shit. I was gonna do this myself but I don't have the equipment and I do NOT wanna take anything else off to do it. Since that apparently is what I'll have to do, then screw it, I'll just pay someone to do it. Which I can't afford. 🙄

[@paulwilson2201]

Did you drain the antifreeze and engine oil before doing this procedure?

[@FalconsGarage]

its not necessary .. but you will loose some coolant when you take some of this hoses off

The sound is all messed up now. Overlaps and silent spots

Hi, I got my oil cooler replaced last year because of oil mixing in collant. Yesterday i noticed the same issue and i am in doubt that how could a brand new part fail in just an year with only 2000 km covered since replacement. Any idea on what could be the reason of failure ? The mechanic says it need to again replace the whole part which i again doubt. Could only replacing the gaskets solve the problem ?

[@FalconsGarage]

MAYBE you can get away with just replacing the gaskets .. the problem is .. if after everything goes back in it still leaks .. you will have to pay for the labor of going back into it.

[@davidsmithers3353]

Just commenting for the next guy .. the new oil cooler does not come with new coolant o-ring .. they probably didn’t replace it with new one

[@save2rave61]

Head gasket

[@derekramos4386]

Anybody’s else’s Cruze started smoking out of the engine after replacement? Could it be the water evaporating?

[@FalconsGarage]

either something is leaking .. or its just dirty

[@jacksdaddy381]

Mine did too, it was just dirty from the oil and antifreeze I spilled a bit

[@vicentechamberlain579]

My brothers cruz recently broke, rough idle, knock sound. Motor shakes back and forth. Probably a bent rod and a wrist pin put into bad shape. I blame the stupid oil cooler. With the coolant gasket passage being so close to the oil one cause we did a head gasket test and it wasnt that. Did a oil change on it and nothing but water came out first so my assumption is thats how the coolant is getting into the block oil passages 🙃 good job chevy you made another P.O.S

[@marzan6857]

Thanks for the video.Now I know what I am up against and the parts to order.

[@FalconsGarage]

Good luck on the project

[@Dr.Dark92]

One of the worst engine designs ever, I finished mine yesterday took me alot of time, just wonder why the hell oil cooler radiator directly attached to the block its much of heater not cooler

[@FalconsGarage]

tru .. but remember .. what cools it is the coolant... so if we can get the coolant colder .. it would be better

[@Dr.Dark92]

@@FalconsGarage yeah which makes it worse, because worn seals will cause to mix oil and the coolant, you could notice that in the reservoir

[@michaelhill2107]

Can a oil cooler cause coolant getting into the engine oil? And is 700 a good price for it to be fixed?

[@FalconsGarage]

yes it c an. 700 seems cheap .. almost too cheap .. but it depends on the average payrate on your state

[@whsxc12]

I have the same issue on my 1.8L leaking oil from the outside and oil leaking into the coolant is an internal and external leak possible?

[@FalconsGarage]

you have oil in the coolant? or coolant in the oil?

[@whsxc12]

Oil in coolant but no coolant in oil

[@paradisopaul]

I have the same issue in my 2012 1.8L Cruze. I smelled burned oil and saw some smoke, I checked and I saw oil coming from the filter housing into the exhaust but I also suspect that I have oil on the coolant (not coolant in the oil) because the coolant reservoir looks ''suspicious''.

Do you recommend buying chevy cruze? Or too many problems with it?

[@FalconsGarage]

I owned mine for years. Didn’t have any major problems. And the ones I did I make videos about. I have heard of them having allot of transmission issues but I never had any with mine

[@reel_images]

Would recommend draining the entire oil and engine coolant first? Also you replaced the oil filter, changed the oil and new engine coolant with purging the coolant correct?

[@FalconsGarage]

Yes. I would recommend changing all fluids. And draining before job will make less of a mess while doing the job

[@reel_images]

@@FalconsGarage thanks so much, just preparing the job. I've bought all the gaskets.

[@EphemeralProductions]

And can someone tell me what a oil cooler is?? I've never heard of it

[@FalconsGarage]

specially on turbo cars the oil gets a little hotter then most cars ... so to prevent oil sludge and keep the oil cooler most use a sort of mini radiator to cool it down ... using the cars coolant to do so ....

[@EphemeralProductions]

Falcon's Garage ah. So then the coolant mixes with the oil?

[@NickFortier]

@@EphemeralProductions no the oil cools itself by a heat sync like a motherboard basically

[@five18audio]

It's a pretty expensive fix if u take it to the mechanic around 800 to a 1000 bucks I did mines for only 10dollars I just purchased the seals from Amazon and I did my own work and labour but if u D's only have mechanic experience do not touch it as u will mess up ur entire system loosing it out get ur boyfriend to do it it's pretty costly

[@jasondenova7331]

How did you remove the line that goes to the turbo? You said to be careful w it

[@FalconsGarage]

if your talking about the plastic oil return line on the bottom it should have just a little hook on it. But sense its plastic its probably brittle by now and it will brake.... so go ahead and buy a new one before staring the project... and if it dosent brake just return it

[@jasondenova7331]

Is the oil cooler known to go out or is it just a bad seal? And how do you know if the cooler is just bad and need to replace whole unit?

well turbo shouldn't have anything to do with the tranny ... does it have enough oil .. clean oil?

[@Hyriam09]

@@FalconsGarage I don't know if it has enough oil or clean. I had all fluids replaced about 2 years ago. About a month ago, a garage in town checked it for an oil leak and said they couldn't fix the oil leak because it was under the valve cover?? but they put trans oil in because it was low. The GMC dealership said they can't check it "no dip stick" without giving me an appointment and lifting the car which costs $105. I read someone where that you should never have to add trans fluid. Another place said a trans shop has a tool that will tell them how much oil is in it. I had batteries replaced for $123, Radiator fan for $523, Turbo Charger $1,200 and now this trans oil light. Also, I did see in pictures I had taken of codes that someone read a P)420 code but I am no longer getting that code after all the work.

[@diecastgoblin]

Could I get a tool list from you please ? I'm about to attempt this and just wanna be prepared for it. Thank you I'm advance. I know this is from four years ago lol.

Mine is leaking oil but don't know from where. On top of the transmission from behind the engine I can see oil sitting on top of the transmission. Any ideas on what it might be, what part may have to be replaced?

[@FalconsGarage]

I would think maybe the valve cover. Best thing to do is to clean it out ... and then just check it often to see if you can see were the oil is coming from.

[@josearchilapineda8158]

Thank you my friend

[@sherrycullen3198]

Where was the oil pooling at on this job? Im having similar issues on my car and it's pooling up oil on the top of the transmission and can't find out where the leak is coming from

[@FalconsGarage]

The leak was under the car towards the front. It would not had been on top of the transmission because that’s higher then the oil cooler. I would check your transmission lines or valve cover

[@shidfard]

Another thing to note, if you smell the occasional oil burning, it is leaking from the back of the oil cooler. It drips right onto the hot exhaust

[@paramdabas]

How much time it took you to replace this all

[@FalconsGarage]

3-5 hours

[@edbiller8455]

YMMV: this took me closer to 12 hours. the car i worked on had 150k miles and we live in the rust belt -- salt corroded most of the hardware, either fusing nut/bolt into a solid piece or disintegrating the nut to a point where nothing will grab it. Two of these problem nuts/bolts were inaccessible by grinding wheel, Chinese hot wrench (i.e., torch), or reciprocating saw, so I had to hand file them off or drill them out. Plus, if the leak is bad, you will spend a lot of time just cleaning all the gunk off the engine.

I just had this done today by my Mechanic. The Engine Oil cooler was leaking oil ONTO the Catylac Converter, NOT inside the Catylac Converter. Check engine light came on with the P0420 code for Catylac emissions. What was happening was when the oil was dripping on the Catylac Converter (CAT), it was raising the temperature and telling the O2 sensor that the temperature is out of range. The CAT was overheating. Once the mechanic pulled out the CAT, he showed me that there is no issue with it from the inside. It was nice and clean. However, from the outside of it, he showed me the burning of the oil on the outside surface of the CAT when it was being vaporized by the temperature of the outside of the CAT. Remember, CATYLAC Converters can reach temperatures of 1,500 Fahrenheit. Very dangerous to touch obviously. So, imagine oil dripping on top of the surface of the CAT, it'll only increase the temperature. It tool my mechanic and another mechanic working with him on and off about 2 to 3 hours total. It's was time consuming.

[@manuelcoello3605]

And how much cost all this

[@FalconsGarage]

will probably pay over 1k for this job

[@JulianFRosales]

So how much would this job cost?

[@FalconsGarage]

it all depends on the mechanic rate of were you live .. i would say over around $500 labor only depending on were you get it done

[@shannonluvsmj]

Did you have to drain the antifreeze?

[@FalconsGarage]

its not necessary .. but you will loose some coolant when you take some of this hoses off

[@chrisewer9570]

every time i start my cruze i start getting smoke from my exhaust manifold, do you think thats my oil cooler

[@FalconsGarage]

sounds like it

[@talkischeap90sbaby83]

My head gasket went out guy told me it would be 3k to fix lol I’m just wondering if this is true ?

[@FalconsGarage]

if its on a "big shop' or dealer thats probably what they would charge .. but seems WAY over priced in my opinion

[@talkischeap90sbaby83]

Falcon's Garage yeah it does some people try to rip people off as much as they can!!! Would it be better buying the part an having somebody put it in or just go the 3k route! I might as well put it down on a new car

[@five18audio]

Bro that a 70bucks fix do it yourself

[@bigserhr8827]

How did you take out the piece that broke off what did you use to remove from engine?

[@FalconsGarage]

a small hook

[@ART224]

Do you think that completing this job without removing the turbo is possible?

[@jbl_lfm_by_Adrian_perales]

@Саша So all you need to do is remove cat or what?

[@Ieatpaintfolife]

Would this also cause some coolant to leak? My 2013 1.8 is leaking oil but my coolant is also disappearing. I don’t smell coolant burning but right after I started losing coolant my oil started leaking around the oil filter housing.

[@FalconsGarage]

it could be possible.. but not likely

[@mhernandez1053]

take it to the dealer they will fix it for free they will fix your water pump and thermostat and hoses i took my sister car they fix everything for no cost
