Yours should not be that way, but you can easily check on it by looking at the existing cooler.

And are the o rings a PITA to get hold of?

No, any dealer can get them for you and they are not at all expensive.

Do you know the part number for the oil cooler? I found a behr/ hella model number 8MO376726-111 and it says its for Porsche part number 99610702557/1. Is this the right one please? Will it have same o rings as on the base model? Can I use my o rings with it or would they have to be new? Reason I'm asking is that the shop that has the oil cooler doesn't stock the o rings.

Latest part number I have is 996-107-025-59 (retails for around $280) for the cooler. And never reuse the four O-rings, you will end up with leaks. We also have never used aftermarket versions of this cooler, only the OEM.
The 99610702557/1 part number is a discontinued item.

And be careful buying a used OEM as it may have metal particles in it from an IMS failure or some other engine catastrophe where metal particles are released.

No, I was looking at a new one from design 911. Funnily enough they stock the original for the base 986 but they only have aftermarket for the s

I would have any used, unknown cooler ultrasonicly cleaned & pressure tested before installing with new O-rings.

so i bought the larger S cooler, but i have a problem, it wont fit. the reason being that i had enlarged the air intake hose, and the larger hose rests on the original oil cooler. if i install the larger oil cooler, the intake hose will be lifted up and then the engine cover wont close. stupid me i didnt check this before i bought the oil cooler. now i have a brand new larger oil cooler that i cant use, unless i fit the original intake hose, which i dont really want to do since i also have the enlarged throttle body and pedro's intake plenum!
