[Sniff] glad to help. Sorry I didn't want to deal with the PS, but you did what I would have done.
 
First one being the engine puked out couple of quarts of oil out of the oil cooler. Even though the three O rings were replaced, and the bolt was torqued down.
I've rebuilt a # of these and never had oil puke out of said on start up. U saying that oil came out around the bolt... or did it come out from around the block to cooler mating surface (this surface also gets a good cleaning)? I always cover the oil rings in a little oil before installing said, like u do on an oil filter before installing.

I'm not saying, it's my daughter saying ;) . She made it sound like it came from behind the cooler, and I cleaned the surface before re-installing. This was a curious thing, i must say.
