as above take a picture but if its a single tube type (if that makes sense) it will more than likely be a power steering fluid cooler.

if it's the factory fit black u thing then it is the PAS cooler and you shouldn't have any problems fitting a front mount with it in situ.

If it's an aftermarket one then it should be on flexi hoses and easy to move?

edit: just to add, the Impreza oil cooler is between the oil filter and engine, it's a water to oil one.
