Oil Cooler?
So this is a problem im having with my 90 RS with the specs in my sig. Pulled the engine to do some work on the engine bay and install a new TC. I noticed this before when the engine was in the car but now im trying to figure it out. I attached a picture of the oil filter and right above it I have , im assuming, a oil cooler since there was coolant dripping out of the ports. It the 2 inlet block right above the filter in the pic. So is this a pump for running an oil cooler or am I just confused lol. If it is an oil cooler how do I go about routing the lines for that? Thanks a lot!

Re: Oil Cooler?
The two hose barbs above the oil cooler are for the factory oil cooler. The mangled thing in the block above that looks like what's left of a block heater.

From the factory coolant for the oil cooler flows through the normal rad.
