[QUOTE="vipergts281, post: 13017473, member: 10912"] [B][SIZE="3"]Found the leak.[/SIZE][/B] It is coming from the oil filter housing area...where that mounts to the engine(??). In the pic below, where that bolt goes through the housing and then mounts to the engine(?? or whatever it mounts to) There is a gasket there. That, from what I can tell, is the source of the leak. I was able to turn that bolt roughly a half turn. Then ran the car, after about 90 seconds it didn't leak. Where as before tightening, it would drip after about 20 seconds...I sprayed it clean with brake cleaner and then watched it. I don't think tightening that bolt fixed it 100% (UPDATE: It slowed the leak a hair, but it didn't stop it 100%). So, I guess I'll be removing the oil filter housing and putting in a new gasket. Anyone know how to do that (search on this site is terrible)? The one bolt is a piece of cake to get to. I saw another one that didn't look that hard. However, I have no idea if something else has to be removed to remove the housing? UNLESS - Is there maybe something above that area of the housing that I can't see that may mean it's not the 100% certain that it's the housing? [ATTACH=full]457406[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
