fixed oil cooler leak

After driving around for a week with a visible oil leak from oil cooler, i pulled it off the block and tried to get the relief hoses off as well. Those suckers won't budge even with liquid wrench on them. I thought about just cutting the lines and pulling it out to check bottom side of cooler but the prospect of putting new lines on seemed like too big a job. So, in the course of messing with it i found some of the original o-ring broken and crammed into bottom side of cooler. Pulled it out put new one on and so far so good.
I'm a bit of a noob so anyone who does this job make sure you pull old one out because it will not seat properly unless you do. Hope someone else can use this
