Just replace the gasket... along with the oil and coolant.

Now you tell me… I replaced the unit today. The oil cooler (heat exchanger) seems to be very well built so I doubt there are many failures with them. On the other hand, the seals were showing some signs of deterioration. The old seals were pliable but while rubbing them between my fingers they were crumbling (see photo). At least I feel better now :dance:
