Further on with this, so far all is good, but the cause of the problem ?
Well we know that some of the seals specified were not up to proper spec, just the same as the intercooler seals on the diesel model, but maybe a coincidence - the heater matrix was partially blocked for some time on this car, maybe this was a contribution to the eventual failure of the seal due to increased pressure. This train of coincidence is due to a much younger car with previous oil cooler internal breakdown filling the cooling system with engine oil springing a similar leak in exactly the same place as well as a similar blockage of heater matrix offering heat to the driver's side only.
Perhaps worth considering if anybody else experiences similar problems.
