 First thing I would do is send the cooler out for inspection and cleaning. Most shops don’t have the setup to do it right- send it to a shop that specializes in oil cooler cleaning. Never heard of a bubble...

Like Pacific Oil Cooler Service?  Are they good?  I just found them in a Google search.  Any PIREP or alternate suggestion?

Cleaning both surfaces is a good idea... both inside and outside...

Checking airflow from front to back.... dirt can build between the fins....

There is an airflow shield behind the oil cooler when mounted to the front of the cowl...

The shield probably keeps things from blocking the flow out of the cooler...(?)

Sending it out for OH is a great way to take care of all that ails it...

Keep in mind of anything is plugging flow In sections of the oil cooler.... the existing oil hoses should be considered as well...

How old are they? Can they be cleaned and flushed out as well... (?)

PP thoughts only, not a mechanic...

Best regards,

Another big +1 for Pacific.  I had mine gone through about a year ago.  They are right by my home drone (POC) and drove the cooler over and picked it up less than a week later.  Real easy to work with.
