Just got through going through the same problem.
Removed the oil radiator and took it to a couple of radiator shops, and
the bottom line was they couldn't repair it without cutting off part of
the air flow through the area of the repair. Plus it would cost about 2/3
of the cost of a new one.
Best solution, is spring for a new oil cooler (radiator). Special
Interest gave me the best price on it, about $85.00 (if my OF memory
still functions)
DON'T try any sealers! Remember you're dealing with the life blood of
your engine (the oil). Anything you add to ''stop leaks'' will probably
start clogging up other small holes throughout the oiling system, places
like rockers, small passages, oil filters ETC.
