Where is it leaking from? The connections? They are very fragile and you are supposed to support the fittings on the cooler (with a spanner) whilst tightening them. If it leaks and the connections are tight, then its fooked, simple as I'm afraid.

Try fitting a new oil cooler seal and see if that helps matey.

if it's the fittings, use some ptfe round the htreads, make sure not to let any end up inside the cooler though as it may end up in the turbo one day.
