Why risk it? I’d fix it.

a new one is not that much, and an upgraded aftermarket like CSF or Mishimoto is like 600 USD.... takes like 30 mins to install even on ramps at home.

Bro…duh…new one right away.
What if you start leaking and don’t realize? That’ll cost you an engine plus an oil cooler. Your $500 problem could turn into a $25K nightmare.

I got the Mishi skid plate, it installed really easily, and fits perfect. My floor jack fits the lift point cutout, which is same size as on the stock plastic cover. If I ever damage my oil cooler I’d buy it from Mishi too. They make good stuff for a fair price.

I wouldn't, just fill up whatever oil you lose, or wait until an oil change and do everything at once.
