You can re-seal the cover, take the plenum off, injection manifold and support plate off. You can remove the top cover, then re-seal it.

Are you sure its the plate and not the coolant bridge or thermostat?

Clean it up and re seal it. Unless the cover is damaged. Usually a re seal is enough if the leak is around the edge. However there have been some cases where the cooler cover itself has a hole in the top. A leak there should be obvious though.

Grey goo and crows feet is all covered in the guides section. :y

You'll need 4 dowty washers, the seals for the oil cooler to cover and 8 seals for the banjo bolts that at either end of the oil cooler pipes.

It's personal choice, but in addition to the doughty washers, I like to use new banjo bolts on the coolant bridge, if they're the original ones  :y

Yes sometimes the cooler sits too deep in the coolant bath(?) it sits in and the nuts don't reach the threads.

Put the nut on the banjo bolt, then screw the banjo bolt into the cooler and pull the cooler up, then screw the nut on to the thread. You "may" find there is enough thread to catch and do up. That looks a bit too far gone though tbh, but worth a try....? :-/

Seen those threads strip before, its very hit and miss if you get away with it in my experience (and one reason why I am not keen on re-sealing the oil cooler if I dont have a spare one)

Put a wipe of the grey sealant around the rubber seal in the oil cooler to give it a bit of a helping hand in the sealing stakes.
