If it doesn't leak till it's warmed up it might be a crack in the cooler
or maybe the block. I had a type 1 that had a crack under the oil
cooler mount that only leaked when the engine was above about 2k rpms.
You might try taking the cooler to Doug's and see if he can pressure
test it. I think the type 1 tester will work on a type 4 cooler.

I have a 78 Westfalia with a GE code 2.0 hydraulic lifter motor. I
have replaced the oil cooler seals, replaced the fan hub seal,
replaced the main seal, replaced the oil filler seal, and replaced the
dip stick tube seal, replaced the oil sender. I am still having a very
active oil leak when it is warmed up and running. You can see it drip
about 10 small drops a minute. It appears to be leaking towards the
fan side of the motor but I cannot seem to locate the actual leak with
a flash light. I did not test the oil cooler for leaks when I replaced
the seals but it does not appear to be leaking from that side of the
motor. Any thoughts?
