Title: Anyone have a blow-up illustration

Of the oil cooler adapter area (87 V20 5.7).  I have a leak here, but only when cold.  Is there a thermostat in the oil cooler dingus?

If it is factory it is just an adapter.  There is no thermostat.

Yep and o-rings on adapter are prone to leak with age especially when cold
