Leak is coming from the o-ring. which is where the sandwich adapter meets the block. Ever since my experience with it happening my oil cooler has been disconnected.

I don't think you understood my opening background statement. The first time was a mistake and I did exactly that. But then I ordered FIVE more o-rings from them. All of them ripped, after following precise instructions and lubing the o-ring just like I would when putting an oil filter on. and on top of that, one of my pictures clearly shows that the o-ring is too big for the machined groove.
