Another Oil Leak Conquered,one small step for man
« on: September 09, 2008, 18:32:20 »
...well you know the rest of the saying.  This leak had been bugging me for years.  It looked like it was coming from the oil filter housing....and it was! I replaced the gasket between the housing and the engine, plus tightened up some loose connections...and wala!!! The oil leak is GONE!!!! I rarely see a drop of oil now.... it feels soooo goood after so many years of leaks, leaks, and more leaks.

I remenber reading something here that went something like this.

If it leaks you know there's oil in the engine. :D
