[DeTomaso] Oil Coolers (again)

I've considered running an air-oil cooler in the front, and also moving my dry sump tank to the front trunk for better balance.
What concerns me though, is an oil leak from the front could make for an interesting spin.

    Mounting ANY air-to-oil cooler anywhere on the Pantera is a waste of energy.



  They seem to work just fine in the nose.  That's where the Gr4 race cars carried them.  They were the full width of the radiator, and about three inches tall, and mounted beow the radiator, behind the lower mesh grille.  Huge oil lines were routed back through the sills, but I don't remember if they both went throught the driver's side, or one went down each side, or both through the passenger side.
