Hi all,
I took my van into a mechanic to fix a coolant leak, and he traced it to a seal on the engine block where the hose from the oil cooler connects to the engine block. Problem is, we can't seem to find the part, and we don't know what it's called. Looks like freeze plug, but has the hose coming out of it to the oil cooler. I've attached a Bentley page that shows the oil cooler and engine block, and I've indicated where the damaged seal is with an arrow.

If any of you all can tell me what this thing is and where I can get a new one that'd be amazing!

(This is all for a 1993 Eurovan MV)

@Abscate Wow! What a great resource. I'll have to do a little more digging to see if they've got the part.
@A2VR6 Yep! That looks about right. What do you call that little guy, and are you looking to get rid of it?
