Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Sometimes the oil cooler seals fail. (rubber O- rings) are cheap, but you will lose some coolant when you pull it off, so drain some coolant out before you remove the "oil cooler". Good Idea to have it checked for leaks while it's off. Tiptronic's have a similar cooler also.
I think its the oil cooler seals,seeing as i got to take off oil cooler to do seals i might as well change the oil cooler itself.
I did the tiptronic cooler 2 years ago as that leaked coolant.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
