However, the more awkward problem is a leak around the oil filter - some spray under the bonnet and an oil coating on the remote limes and chassis. I have tightened as much as i dare with a socket on the underside of the filter. Any suggestions? |
The hex on the bottom of a K&N is for removing only.
The rubber seal should be smeared with a light coat of engine
oil on assembly, hand tighten about 2/3 turn after seal contact.
If you have a leak across this junction, then removal and further inspection is required.
Wash down your current leak with brake cleaner, and run it again to pinpoint the leak. You may need to add a fluro dye to the oil.
