2.0 LSJ, yes. I think the LNF one is similar to the LE5 though. The LE5 one is much smaller than the LSJ one, but i'm not sure if they physically mount different.

You'll have to ship you broken one to NM for it to get made.
It's my buddy; he made mine.

The LSJ and LNF ones are totally different and will not be cross compatible. I had one of each when making my oil to air plate.

The le5 appears to also be different from both the LSJ and LNF one.

Was told that it cannot be deleted either as the oil still has to flow through where the cooler was..any idea if this is true?

You cannot just cap it off.

What I plan to make for you is a plate that has a tube that still allow the oil to pass through and back to the other side.

I could also make you a plate that allows you to run -AN lines to an external oil cooler of your choice.

Wouldn't be a head gasket. If it were a head gasket, you'd have coolant in the oil..... not oil in the coolant.

The oil cooler failing internally has much more pressure than the cooling system.... thus it pressurized the oil to go into the cooling system. Id definitely say its the cooler(or at least my first guess). Not a head gasket.

Ive also seen blocks crack and cause the cooling system to fill with oil... but usually on cars that do not have an oil cooler.

You send your stock cooler to me.

Best bet is -10AN fittings.
Make a loop like to just recirculate or direct to an external oil cooler.

I'm thinking about the whole solid tubing recirculated idea and I don't want to. Without the car in front there is no sure bet the tube won't infere with something.

What I think we are going to do for now..is because the leak is internal we will bypass it by hooking a hose to the 2 coolant ports on the cooler...then the oil should only run back into the oil cooler. Perhaps also plug the tubes with jb weld high heat or something.

I hope not too..GM left me little choice my mechanic has no other options, no parts available , they should stay separate in the cooler, just both will be oil. Thanks for the part offer but its risky that my cooler would get lost in mail etc and then I am done, no other options

I ended up connecting the 2 cooler hoses together and the coolant lines together. There are no parts available , if you can have someone make you a plate to cover the ports then that is a fix but not easy. You have to have the little tube removed from the right port so the oil can flow. A real pain in the a$$ makes me hope someone at GM gets slapped in the face.
