word of advise, dont scrape the oil cooler on the curb or whatever its over
OUCH! think mine is on the side < 82/84-300sd>
the case, minus a few cans!
It's gotta be in front somewhere since it does rely on airflow...
Maybe a good steel plate to protect it would be good?

Yeah, tell me about it! I just had a fender bender on my 1980 300SD. The car only has 100K miles on it, so I had it fixed. We had to take the oil cooler out to fix it and ran into the same problem. The steel hose fitting had corroded onto the aluminum threads of the cooler and when we unhooked it, the threads were shot. I guess I was lucky, I just picked up a used cooler for $160.
And its Mercedes fault because because YOU drove over a curb?!?
