Thanks for the welcome.Talked to ford dealer in easley,s.c. he said it was a o ring in the oil cooler that cost 9.00 or the bolt that holds it all together from oil filter.Took filter off could turn bolt that filter scews onto which has a 1/2 allen inside tightened it up no leak.That was a very easy fix at no cost to me.

I'm experiencing this leak on my 01 cobra as well. The Ford dealership wants $500.00 to fix. I'm having trouble finding the replacement parts. I've tried the common part stores and online. All that turns up is the radiator type replacement. Where can I find the parts to fix this? Please Help.
