Yeah, I have learned that the sandwich plats never completely close. Has something to do with not wanting freezing cold oil to mix with hot operating temp oil when it would eventually open.

Only effective solution is the block airflow through the oil cooler. Be it an aluminum plate or just some simple tape.
