Most of the posts I have read have lead me to believe that the problem may be from inadequate cooling.
The leaks always seem to start at the rear jug where there would be a lot less airflow, and being that the 110's tend to run a lot hotter than the standard motors, Is it possible that with an oil cooler a lot of us wouldn't be having these problems? Or am I way off-base?


The SEUC's come with an oil cooler stock...  Hasn't seemed to matter...   ???

I don't believe it's inadequate cooling at all. I believe it's inferior design and execution of the stock 110 cylinders and head gaskets. ;)
