Hi, John....looking at the oil flow diagram, it shows the oil exiting the
engine on the waterpump end of the engine, going into the top of the oil
cooler, then exiting the bottom fitting of the oil cooler (where the
thermostat is), and re-entering the engine underneath the oil filter (close
to the oil pan).  Hope this helps. Paul Conner
