Re: Oil leak ? by oil fliter
OK, found this, tracked it down. Fel-Pro ES72671. What this is: it's the gasket kit / O-rings used when a tow package (front external oil cooler) is added to GM engines in trucks and SUVs. So it's called oil cooler seal kit, even though it's not on the oil cooler itself. Part number is Fel-Pro ES72671, and it's even available at AutoZone and Checker/Schucks/Kragen/O'Reillys for $10. After removing the oil filter, the adapter can be removed by removing two allen-head screws, with 1/4 inch allen wrench in a 1/4 inch socket. You won't use all the parts in this kit.
I just replaced this on my 1994 Suburban, a few years after the mechanic had done it for me, his fix lasted only a few years. Note: oil will drip all over you when you do this job, better if you let the oil drain a few hours. One of the allen head screws may be longer than the other.
