Question Replaced Oil Cooler, Oil in Expansion Tank

Dealer said there was a leak in the oil cooler. I replaced the oil cooler and the seal at the engine block this weekend (https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...ens-2721880001) . But now I'm seeing oil in the expansion tank. Not a lot, more just a sheen that is floating on the surface. I replaced the coolant when I replaced the cooler as well. Do I need to flush the entire system, and if so, how? Is there a possibility the new gasket(s) are leaking as well?
