Oil Cooler HELP PLEASE

I have an 04 6.0 today I noticed oil in my coolant.
The oil level in the pan was about 3 quarts low. I am thinking it is the oil cooler it has plenty of power drives normal and no codes.

Can any one tell me what I need to remove to get to the oil cooler?
anything else that I should know?
Thank you,
Floyd K.

Everything on the top of the motor. Make sure you change the EGR cooler as well they usually go out together.

Well its done

Took off the turbo and intake removed the EGR cooler and oil cooler.
I tested both with compressed air and water EGR cooler was ok but
I blocked both gas ports any way (freeze plugs welded).
The oil cooler though was leaking bad across the oil and coolant ports.
Installed a new one (complete assembly).
All new seals and gaskets..
Only 9 hours later
Runs great now wow!! Navistar engineers are realy DUMB....

Wow, that's good time... I read that cleaning the system out is time consuming.

Take Care

Talking Navistar Engineers Are Dumb

Yea, it was a pain in the @## but it finally came clean.
At first I tried Dawn dish soap two times then automatic dish washer soap(no good).
I had some Turtle wax concentrate car wash soap on a shelf, I tried it in a bucket with oil and water mixed it up a little and the oil and water mix turned to milk quick( holy crap it worked).Poured the hole bottle in the degas and drove it around for an hour.Then drained it while still hot all the milk came out. I flushed it with straight water two times with the heater on.
That stuff worked GREAT...
Coolants in RUNS LIKE A CHAMP.
I do get a EGR low flow code though but thats to be expected..
Anyone know what I can do to fool the sensor?
EGT's WAY LOWER DAMN...
Edge monitor says the coolant temp and oil temp are within 6 degrees.
Why in the H#LL install an EGR on a diesel engine...
Oh, I invested in Napa's universal coolant filter kit..
