2005 5.0 GXI... steering actuator lasted two years, so now the cooler AND the actuator are leaking...guess I will take the Starboard riser off and change them both at the same time...actuator should have lasted longer than that... and I don't know what about the cooler would ever leak, but it is...

In most cases it's the lines or fittings that are leaking. The cooler has next to no pressure on it because it's on the return side.

Yeh, I figured that might be the case; however, it is so difficult to get back there to work on it, I am figuring I will just remove it all and know that I have killed the problem.
