Getting fed up.. need help with problem diagnosis

[Harris91]

Alright so I made a post on here a while ago, about an oil leak that I had, and I thought it was the oil cooler. Well, I found out it was a o-ring gasket that had blown off the cooler. So, I replaced it, and the car wont start, but it will turn over, and it is still leaking oil out of the cooler somewhere. I checked to see if it was seized, and it wasnt, so Im running out of ideas. Can someone please give me some advice?

Read awhile back that over tightening of the oil cooler can cause the fins to break off and get into the engine and wreak havoc

If it turns out that it's not the fins, you may have to crawl under the car when it's running or something to pinpoint it. I didn't want to do that so I took my timing belt off, hooked up a 14mm socket to my cordless drill and turned the oil pump that way. It built pressure enough that I could see where my oil leak was coming from. Good luck!
