I thought I had done mine properly in fact I was utterly convinced I had, until someone pointed out the nipped O ring at the back of the filter housing.
Might be worth another look ?
Mart.
There were no indications while driving, then again didn't drive it very far to the store. Parked it, walking to store, clerk said car is leaking. Got back to find a puddle underneath. Opened the hood, front of the car was covered, expansion tank, rad hoses, belts, pulleys, alternator, top of rad, etc.
Checked the level, nothing there. Next day checked filter torque and O ring, no issues. Drain lug, no leaks. Added 2 more quarts, not obvious leaks underneath, level still at 4 quarts to day. Only issue I found so far is the plastic locking ring on the CCV hose from the VC to the Can is cracked, but both ends of the hose were still attached.
Considering the way the oil splashed everywhere its going to be pressure side leak. Only way to find it at this point would be to reinstall only whats required to get it running, (i.e no belts, no alternator etc.) and see what happens. I don't think it will need to run for very long before the leak shows up. Any other precaution I need to take before
starting it up like this?
The attached images may help to locate it.
