My sportage has developed the infamous oil cooler housing leak. Kia wants 255 in labor to change it plus parts. I bought the new housing and replacement o-rings from Kia and want to do it myself.

So i'm wondering if anyone has done it and could maybe throw up a quick diy? It looks like a pain to change. I'd like to know what to remove, etc, to get to it easily, and what tools will be necessary.

I checked the Kia online manual and it was really general about removing it. It literally says to remove this bolt and that bolt and this nut.... No help at all.

Hopefully I can find some help on here! Thanks in advance! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />
