i have an 89 camaro rs with the 5.0 v8, i replaced the oil filter (thinking it had a hole in it or something) because it looks like its leaking around the oil filter area, im not sure where it could be leaking from, if you have any ideas it would be highly appreciated

 

My ESP skills are not working well today, could you tell us what kind of car, engine, etc you have. If it's pouring out around the oil filter when the engine is running, then you probably have a gasket from a previous filter still stuck to the engine oil filter adapter. You'll have to remove the filter to see. Did it start leaking right after an oil filter change?

 

its an 89 camaro rs 5.0 305 v8, it only leaks when its running, it leaks drips of oil between the oil pan and oil filter well thats where it looks like its coming from

 

could be two oil seals or no oil seal on filter, leaking valve cover, leaking oil pressure sender, oil pan seal.

clean it off real good, drive it, and look for the highest point with oil on it - that will help you get an idea of where it's really coming from

 

Check the oil sending unit on top towards firewall.

 

Alright I'll clean everything sometime this week and see if I can see any oil leak when it runs
