Was it your own aircraft?

Yes. It's a rare occurrence. When something like this happens, you then
hear accounts from the few who knew of something similar. One such
account was of a NEW oil cooler that failed in its first 3 hours.

Our oil cooler failed last year, too. Luckily it was a relatively
slow leak, and we weren't even aware of it till we landed.
