As title. Had several leaks so dropped oil and found sump stripped. So after sorting that removed old filter that looked like it had been leaking. Some black silicone around the seal so last owner obviously thought this also. Had been dripping slowly but after filter and oil change was coming out faster. Tightened it more than hand tight using strap but no change.
Dropped oil again removed filter checked seals all good. Re-fitted and cleaned up around filter mounting. Added Lucas PAS and seal conditioner as slight weep from rear crank seal. Ran it up and after couple minutes slight dribble down filter. Cleaned up and stuffed white rag behind housing. Rag picked up some oil. Looked with torch from above and can see oil pressure switch and oil cooler line and neither seem to be weeping. Could see oil slowly gathering in oil filter outside the seal area.
Runnnig 10w30 which may be thinner than original oil. Can't see where this leak is. No damage to filter housing face so fairly sure it's not the filter but something directly above it. Anybody got any other culprits in this area?
