So I replaced the oil cooler on my 2015 Veloster turbo but while putting the coolant hose back on the oil cooler I ripped one of the hose and have no idea how to find a replacement. Anyone gone through this before?

Get a 3/8" or little better a 11/32" hose to replace it with.

Hi All

Have oil in radiator, oil cooler seems to be the culprit, according to mechanic,
I saw an OEM part on Ebay part no 26410 2b740, Agent will only give me part of the (740) can anyone confirm if this is the correct no? (2016 VT, DCT)
The shipping time is ridiculous to get to Galali Bahrain.
Trdtoy could yrself or someone else help out with some pricing incl shipping (lead time is critical).
is it possible to drive the car like this or best not to?
Thank you

Pm me what you need, when you need it, and I will see what I can do.

that is the correct part that i recently purchased myself.

interesting to note, that they are separate systems... so it sounds like the cooler itself may be cracked and dripping into the coolant passages? it seems pretty robust.

I have never seen an oil cooler fail like this but anythingis possible I guess. Oil in the coolant is usually a head gasket or engine block issue in some way. Unfortunately you can be a mechanic but that does not mean you're a good mechanic or good at diagnostics. Does not matter to the mechanic anyway as they're not paying the bill but getting paid.

here are some photos of what it looked like before cleaning it, cant be sure of how long its been like this as I never checked the radiator myself.

Now I am concerned... There is no water or oil mixing in the sump, nothing visible on oil cap or dip stick? I tried calling the mechanic to do a flush he says first the cooler must be changed? the car is not overheating nor engine light on or any error codes, apart from checking radiator one would never know there was a problem, the leak started the same evening when my wife checked the water levels? I am at a loss for words and feeling deflated at the prospect of something else being the problem.

There was no trace of water running down the block that could be seen, really dont know what else to say,

The car needs to be flushed and cleaned and pressure tested and see what happens from there.
