Drop the oil cooler from the bottom and clean out the entire area.

I got a bunch of leaves out with a skinny vacuum cleaner extension but it was only by removing the plastic cover under the nose and dropping the oil cooler down (takes 10 or 20 minutes) that I was able to really get it cleaned out.

If you have an air compressor use the high pressure nozzle. That worked great.

I use a shop vac with tiny tube extension like this that get thru the grill, it pick up the debris and you pull them back. Do the job very good and IT’s fast
