If the fitting can rotate, it's not tight enough.

My advice, pull the bumper and crash bar off. Only takes me ab 6 minutes. Clean the oil cooler THOROUGHLY. Until there's no trace of oil.

Then button it back up, drive around, inspect it. Be sure to check your oil levels too.

Also, if you have an oil cooler. You should have an oil pressure gauge. By the time the OEM pressure warning light goes off, it's too late and you need a new engine. I got my gauge from Defi, and bought an A-pillar finisher with an integral gauge pod. Well worth it!
