Most common leak points are the oil pan gasket, front seals and the rear main seal. Check your coolant tank because the oil cooler seals tend to go and the oil and water mixes. What you are seeing as no oil might actually be what is called the milkshake or a mixture of coolant and water.

    Is it possible to remove and bypass the oil cooler? I have had 2 failures and dont want to fit another one if I can bypass it permanently. No racing or hard driving so no need for an oil cooler.
