Please can this persistent impossibility end????? It has far outlived it's time. The exchanger's oil and water inlet and outlet ports have ATMOSPHERE outside the O-rings. There is NO way to leak externally to the atmosphere and then travel into a water or oil port that is pressurized. If the O-rings leak, oil or coolant will leak onto the top of the engine. The exchanger must leak internally to cause intermix. Not externally. Rant over.

Might want to check both rear fog lights.....
