    Every oil cooler I have seen is just like that. I think it is suppose to be.

    There are many ways to fix the rust/rot on the rear. I had some like that, I took all the paint off, ground off all the rust. Welded in new metal, and smoothed it. One would never know after it had seam sealer, paint on it. I then covered the whole thing with an Mtechnik II rear valance anyway...but I wanted it right under it, so I did it the right way.

    :P

      The oil cooler is like that so air can flow through it.

        oil cooler should be straight up and down, looks like someone hit a curb or something and caused the bottom of the radiator support to bend forward.
