Alfa Romeo GT with an oil leak
This 2006 Alfa Romeo GT owner called to say that there was a puddle of oil underneath her car. We thought that the oil filter had worked itself loose and were expecting just to tighten up the filter and replace the lost oil.
When we got it on a ramp we noticed that the two oil cooler pipes had bad corrosion on the ends of the pipes where they fit onto the oil cooler. The corrosion has spread to the cooler itself. The only way to make a permanent fix was replaced both pipes and the oil cooler.
The job took a week to do as the parts were not readily available from Alfa Romeo but the local dealership delivered them as soon as they landed from Italy - so thumbs up to them for their help.
Once the pipes, cooler, engine oil and oil filter were replaced the car was back on the road.
