Hi folks, was looking for some advice please on my Alfa GT 1.9JTD.
I found some oil (I think its oil) under the car near the drivers/offside wheel, after taking off the inner lining of the wheel arch I found this leaky pipe going into what looks like a mini radiator, can someone advise what this is, its obviously in a corroded state and needs replaced.



Secondly after having a look around for any other obvious leaks there seemed to be some oil coming from this pipe, the connection feels loose but wont pull out.
The second picture shows what pipe the connection is on.





Thanks for looking.

The first one is one of the oil pipes going into / out of the oil cooler.

The oil cooler leak needs fixing NOW as an emergency.
They have a habit of dramatically dumping the oil in one go and consequently the engine failing VERY quickly. Ideally that should be recovered but get it looked at asap

Thanks for your replies, I'll phone the garage tomorrow and not drive it until I get it booked in.
Garage is only 4 miles or so away so hopefully it'll manage that.
Cheers again.
