Really confused here. Oil cooler and radiator questions.
Ok 2001 Chevy 3500 T Diesel Express box van.
So I started having what I thought were the common oil coolerlines leaking. Boughtsome nice lines from Leroy Diesel to replace them. Pop under the truck to verify that everything is gonna work and have the right parts before taking stuff apart. This is where things get weird. Ok. There’s the two ports coming out forwardof the oil filter. Trace those to the front where I expect to see my oil cooler. There’s no cooler but I can see where there was one previouslymounted. Notice that a section of rubber hose and hose clamps have been added to the hard lines and make a loop that is held up with a bungee. Follow the lines over and they go into the left side of the radiator (drivers side), one near the top just under the large radiator hose and one down at the bottom. Ok. This is where stumped. Does the factory oil cooler also have coolant lines that would have been connected to it as well as the oil lines and someone really screws up here and removed the oil cooler and just tied the four lines together and now there’s coolant and oil mixing
