oil leak behind filter?
Oil seems to be dripping from behind the filter. It is tight enough. Any suggestions...
|
Might have over tightened it and crushed the gasket.
What brand is it? |
did you coat the new gasket on the filter with some old oil?
|
I did coat it with some old oil. I'll change it tomorrow and see what happens. Is there a gasket in the oil pump that can go bad?
|
Sometimes the old gasket/O-ring stays left behind. Be sure the old seal comes off with the old filter. Don't even take a chance, filters are cheap, just put on a new one.
Just a thought, some Mopars had a right angle adapter, (My 340 Dart did) the gasket around that may be bad. |
depending on some filter brands i know fram is horrible for it but some times the o ring gasket has a nick out of them causing them to leak there kinda easy to find though and see if thats it
