W208 CLK55AMG Oil Leak from Radiator?

[fergusond]

I've got oil leaking from the left (drivers side) hand side of the radiator, it looks like a ribbed plastic section attached to the side of the main metal water radiator and is fed by two pipes at the bottom with about 1" diameter hoses with a electric pump in line. I presume its an oil cooler for either the engine or gearbox.

To replace is it a whole radiator replacement needed or is the plastic section available separately, and is it much of a job to replace?

cheers

it is normally the radiator that is the culprit. Replace the pipes too for good measure as they are often corroded on the 208's

Its the G'box oil cooler BTW too.

After removing plastic trim around the radiator, found the copper washer on the the top oil pipe banjo bolt needed replacing. Bought the oil pipes will replace them later.
