I have a leak from the oil cooler gasket. I believe it is an orange o-ring. I plan to buy a new one from the dealer. I was wondering if anyone has the procedure steps? I am most concerned with the torque value of the large nut/shaft assembly to tighten the oil cooler to the engine. I would like to know the torque for that. Along with the torque, any additional help would be nice. Maintenance steps and exploded parts view would help from a Nissan mechanic. Thanks

Danny,

Thanks for the information. I used your provided images and it helped a lot. I changed out the gasket after buying it from the local Nissan dealer for around $9.00. I cleaned the area very well with brake clean and did not have to disconnect any coolant lines. No more leaks from that area. I also drained the oil before removal and did an oil change for the entire engine.
Thanks again
