From underneath a running engine, should noticeable airflow be felt at the point where air that went through the oil cooler exits the engine? I'm talking about the flywheel side of the engine where the ductwork goes through the front engine tin. 1600 dual port. Engine running at fast idle.

surprisingly little air flow is felt from the oil cooler exhaust duct at idle speed. As RPM increases you can feel air flow but still not as much as the head/cylinder exhaust air.

It's very little air flow.
