Hey lads,
So I've had an oil leak for the past year or so, wasn't super bad so was just topping up on a two weekly basis. Was having a look around and noticed oil on the oil filter housing. Didn't seem to be above the housing so presumed it was this and not the part that connects to the block.
Changed that with a new housing like this one last night, went for a spin and kept an eye on it while the car was parked for the next couple of hours.. no drips everything looks good
Woke up this morning to a pool of oil under the car (was also very black considering I had just changed it). Anyway presumed I had crossed the threads as I was putting it on as I had never had a pool to that size.
Started from scratch again today. Drained the rest of the oil. Put a new filter into the housing and installed. Filled with oil. Then had the car idling on the road outside the house and I notice immediatly more drips of oil coming from the sump this time.
Thinking of just leaving it in to the garage, but would love to figure out where it might be coming from before I do/
If anyone has any thoughts on the culprit it would be much appreciated!
