<VV> Oil leak diagnosis - cooler adapter?

[Doug Mackintosh]

Thanks to all who sent suggestions on finding my oil leak. For such a small area, there sure are a lot of possibilities!  I plan to attack it with brake cleaner and close scrutiny (may try the flour dusting if the leak is hard to find). As soon as I figure it out, I'll post the final outcome.
