Re: Oil leak problem

Did you recently change the filter. It may be the wrong one or possibly a bad gasket. Also check your oil pressure sending unit for leaks

Re: Oil leak problem

i changed the filter multiple times and tried different brands and they all seem to leak. i also had my sending unit replaced and it still leaks. the oil runs down the oil filter and drips off.. is there a gasket you can buy or something?
