[QUOTE="hogseye, post: 410889, member: 624"] pressure relief valve (or valves if dual pressure) is sticking or completely stuck, it operates when you first start engine to bypass oil cooler (i think) when oil is thick, look in manual it tells you what it does. Anyway if it sticks it pressurises the system and cooler is weakest point and it splits it or if you are lucky blows a seal. use a big flat bladed screw driver and remove the cap, be careful the spring will come out and in case the plunger does pop out but if it doesn't it is hollow you can gently wind a bolt into it a couple of threads and pull it out . clean any scores off with fine wet and dry and check bore in case aswell.
