Default Oil Cooler Gasket Replacement

Ok, so awhile back I replaced my oil cooler lines, which was a big PITA until I pulled out one of the motor mount bolts and jacked up that side of the engine.

Now I have low oil pressure, around 20-25 psi and the oil cooler attached to the driver side block is leaking quite a bit. I know there are some o-rings and possible gaskets there that I will need to replace.

How much of a pain is this going to be?

Replaced all ball joints over the last 2 days, and those took forever and a day.

OK, so I'll comment on my own thread. Might be against the rules but I feel like sharing my mini accomplishment today.

Replacing the oil cooler gasket (o-ring) was simple and quick. 2 bolts 14mm and pulll down. Use an o-ring remover (looks like a dental tool) and pull it out, contort your hand and twist the adapter towards the driver side and install new o-ring, reinstall the 2 bolts and your done.
