[QUOTE="SnakeBit, post: 9894199, member: 2522"] If you're leaking oil around the oil filter, there are 2 possible pronblems: 1. Last time filter was changed, the filter's rubber seal came off and was stuck to the oil cooler. New filter put on, now there are 2 seals stacked. This WILL leak. 2. The hollow shaft the oil filter is screwed on has backed out. This will leak oil out of a weep hole on the body of the oil cooler. You need to remove the oil filter and use a 1/2" allen wrench to screw the hollow shaft back in. You can change the filter by itself without draining your oil. You'll have to add 1 qt of new oil (I'd just put a new filter back on rather than re-using the old filter). Good luck. [/QUOTE]
