Anyone else have a leak at the Oil Filter O-ring? If so how did you fix it?



I looked around on the forum,but didn't see anything..

 

Doesn't happen too often. Just go buy a new filter with O-ring and replace it. While you have the cap off, inspect it closely for any hairline cracks. If it's cracked, you'll need a new one. They're easily available and less than $20 for a cap,filter and O-ring combo.

1st , look closely though, and make sure it's the filter cap where the leak is from. Sometimes a valve cover leak or other leak can look like the filter cap is the spot.

 

I guess might as well change the oil too while i'm at it.... I'll definetly wipe it down and look at it first... thx for the info

 

X2 on the oil filter cap. I have never had the o ring fail unless the cap had a problem.

 

Kind of a common problem with the LNF. May not be the oil filter cap, mine wasn't, it was nicked o-ring at the cam sensor running down to the oil filter cap.
