not sure if Ive an oil cooler leak, plus somethings going on with the coolant bridge.
What do I need to order to sort the bridge out?
Im about to check the wetness for oil, to see if I need to do the oil cooler as well.

Looks to be just coolant thats run through oil.
thats one bit less...
Just the bridge to sort
explains where the tiny coolant loss was anyway.
Anyone know what I need?
cheers

4 x dowty type seals - plus 2 new through bolts as old ones can break!! HTH mate

Im not that bad any more, can tackle a lot myself.
B-Bolt - my 1st ever, awkward, but not too bad in or out, flexi ended ratchet spanner did the job nicely.
Didnt even need to sort the thermostat bolts, my pattern thermostat was genuine old style GM, with the GM logo ground off ;D
Just praying it will be watertight when it goes back together :y

Good on you mate.
I'm going the other way nowadays, I just let the gnome do it all.
As they say "No use keeping a dog and barking yourself." ;D ;D
