Hi, just picked up a 97 Cobra and I seem to have an oil leak. It looks like the part that the oil filter attaches to has a little crack in the bottom. Can someone please tell me what that part is called?
That's the weep hole. It could be all you need to do is tighten the hollow stud that holds it all together. It comes loose sometimes when the oil filter is removed. Or the seals have gone bad.
What he said. When I first bought my Mystic it was leaking a softball size puddle of oil every time I started it. I drained the oil and took the filter off, tightened the stud back down, put a new filter on, added fresh oil, and no more oil leak.
