Serious Oil leak. (Oil cooler, Oil filter)
Looking for some thoughts.
Seems that I am leaking a HUGE amount of oil from around my oil filter/oil cooler area.
Car does not leak when stopped, power braked or reved, only when moving. So it makes it very hard to figure out exactly what is leaking.
I have washed the car off, taken the filter and cooler off. cleaned their seals and replaced them. Still leaks!!! I am totally guessing that under load the oil squirts out of the oil cooler seal and all over the place. (actually drips from the swap bar)
Then when I stop it leave huge puddles. (going through a quart a day)
Thoughts? Other possiblilities? Anyone else had this problem?

Have you tried jacking up the car at various angles to see if you can re-create the leak?
A simple question... are the oil filter gaskets in good condition?
Assuming your belly pan is off, you can't see where the oil drips are comming from?
