I haven't worked on a IH diesel since before I joined the AF back in 85. But the last 966 I worked on had wet sleeves. Before I took it in for that $6K overhaul or trade if for a 656 I would pull that oil cooler off and check or have it checked out. If it's the O-Rings on the sleeves, that wouldn't be too big of a job.
To check out the O-Rings/Sleeves to ensure they are good, drop the oil pan, clean it the best you can and look for coolant drips/leaks. By pressurizing it would also be a good way to check it, but usually can/will see the leaking by just letting it sit.
