This is how the oilcooler housing and gasket looks like...
Does this improve your thoughts..?
Now I´m just waiting for gaskets to arrive and today the head went to the shop for refreshment!
Though I´m still wondering if the head was ok how did the water enter the exhaust..?

Thanks for your diagnosis doctors! Seems like a solid explanation. So in fact the head could be in good shape and also the gasket!?
Well now it will be fixed anyway and gaskets for oilcooler. I'm also doing the oilpan gasket since it's leaking and will take a look at the rod bearings.
And if we who lives in Sweden uses this amount of steamy sauna water I wonder how much the Finnish guys use! ;-)

If you are going to the trouble of pulling the oil pan, change the bearings. As long as they are top notch bearings, properly installed and lubed, you are doing yourself a favor and gaining some long term security.

Thanks Ehall!
There seems to be 2 tools out there. Is the one linked to the same for all 1-piece OPRVs and the other tool for the earlier 3-piece or can get the wrong tool?
Also, are all cooler housings the same because I have one cracked from 951 -91 that I'm replacing with a unit from a -87 and the 87 unit had the 3-piece with a spring and the 91 had the one piece.
So can I take the early housing and put on the -91 block with the -91 1-piece OPRV?
Thanks
