    There are 3 bolts that secure the oil cooler to the engine. I would first make sure they are tight. If they are and you still have a leak, it could be the 3 o-rings that are on the back of the cooler that press against the engine. I have heard of these breaking down or not on well. If they have never been changed, the synthetic oil could possibly leak through if they are OK but are hard and brittle.
    You have ro remove the pipes coming in and going out. Take the 3 bolts off and you will see the 3 o-rings on the back. They probably will only cost a few dollars. I put them in with just white grease to hold them secure. When you push the bolts in they have to stay secure and slip into the grove.
    If you decide to take the cooler apart and clean it thats another job but no big deal.
