Do you know for sure where it's leaking from? What brand are they? I had Mocals before and they were good for a long time, then all of a sudden they were seeping and I couldn't figure out from where, but they were leaving a big mess behind them, i.e. on the tire...that's no good. It looked like it was coming from the fittings so I tightened them down as much as possible but it didn't help. I looked at the fittings and they were knicked, so I ordered another brand new oil cooler and it leaked too, but this time it was coming from the fins. So I decided to make the switch to Setrab because their fittings aren't welded in like on the Mocal, so if they're nicked you can just swap out the fitting instead of the whole cooler...MUCH cheaper option.

It looks to be leaking from the entire bottom row. Its not the fittings at the top.

Yeah that sucks. I've never dealt with Earl's coolers or heard much about them. Did you put it on brand new yourself and do they have a warranty?

its an earls cooler with the optional mounting bracket system. I really like the full cradle mounting system over just it hanging from those flimsy tabs. I have bad luck with oil coolers, thats oil cooler #4 hahah.
