I have a 1993 Honda Accord SE that has a major oil leak.
I seem to have identified my major oil leak to at the oil cooler. I am not familiar with oil cooler. But after doing some research, I understand that the oil cooler is a separate unit that can be removed from the engine. Furthermore, parts store appear to carry the oil cooler seal.
I am asuming this is my problem - a seal gone bad. But I have never worked with an oil before.
Can anyone give me any tips on how I remove the oil cooler so I can replace the seal?
Do I need a special tool to remove it?
My Haynes manual does not cover the oil cooler. Do you which manual does?
Help needed desparately.

Man, dbbyleo, how many places are you going to post this?
I'm sure you're desperate, but remember that everyone here is a volunteer. And it's the weekend!
It's no help, but I didn't even know the Accord HAD an oil cooler.

Yeah - I know - ...sorry about that. I just didn't want it to get lost in the big long thread like the other one. Since this was specific to an oil cooler, I just thought it would be appropriate.
I'll update this one last time after I have a solution for "replacing an oil cooler seal".

I've been able to replace the o-ring in the oil cooler. See my post in the threads for details:
