I expect they are all looking, but they want the whole vehicle as a rule.

They are always going ... quite a lot of people I know have simply bypassed them.. with a couple of lengths of copper pipe and a few hose clips.

It is one unit..... usually you end up with the oil leaking into the water system which you can see in the radiator .... is this what is happening to you....

I'd buy a new one .... there forever going... usually 18 months to two years.... see if you can buy one that does not have the oil cooler.... the same engine is in different vehicles. and then just bypass the water pipes.
