98 cobra oil leak

[Cmcarter]

In the last few days I noticed a major oil leak on my 98 cobra. The leak is coming from the pin hole on the oil filter chamber. I have done some reading and many are saying this is caused by the oil cooler going bad. I just wanted to see what you guys think. It only leaks when there is oil pressure (car is turned on), and depending how long it has been sitting it can leak almost about a half a quart almost instantly (huge problem). If anyone has any information please let me know what I should do ASAP. Ill post of picture of the hole on the chamber if someone can explain how to do so (without photo being loaded to html)

What year is your Cobra? If its a 4v car then its probably the seals in your oil cooler or the oil sending unit, I've had both leak on mine. Relatively simple fixes.

Its a 1998 cobra, so its a 4v, but alright know which ones i should check first? and how much are the seals and or sending unit?

Both parts are cheap, you might need to source the seals for the cooler though as they're discontinued. Climb under the car by the oil filter, clean it off with degreaser, start the car and start looking for leaks. Should be fairly easy.
