74 240d oil cooler
 

my oil cooler leaks. what is recomended? trying to keep the original setup or can i put a aftermarket cooler on or can i just disconect it and not have a cooler i know i have to leave to orginal cooler in to hold the radiator in

The cooler leaks or the lines leak? Replace what leaks. You really shouldn't do without the cooler.

pretty positive it's the cooler i'll check to make sure but are aftermarket coolers ok to use or should i keep it orginal and thanks for replying

Usually the easiest thing to do is go with an oem part. You know it will bolt right in without any hassle. If you don't want to buy a new one, you should be able to get a good used one fairly inexpensively.
