Yes, you have if you have seen an old VW Bug, bus, Ghia, Thing or an older Porsche. I’ve said it before if you want to save money use hose clamps on the lines and if you need a new cooler go aftermarket VW some people might say that hose clamps won't work well I’ve seen enough high performance VWs with high PSI oil pumps "well above 45 PSI" that don't leak when using hose clamps.

a little history of the VW
when Ferdinand Porsche was desining the VWs engine they had over heating problems until they put an oil cooler on them
