Best guess
Written by douglasvanb on 2/15/2012 at 05:00 pm

A third place is the air box boots. I just put a bunch of silicone sealant on
mine. Also I can vouch for the oil filter getting loose and leaking. I just
tightened mine for the second time in 3000 miles. Hopefully those are the two
causes of my current oil leaks :-)

Cheers!

Douglas

them leak before and just a little more tightness stopped the leak. A bad oil
filter O ring could be the cause also. Replace the filter and see what happens?
I do what little maintenence my PC needs because even something as simple as a
oil change can be botched. Does the Blue Bell Cafe still have butterscotch
pie?(:

just in front of the oil filter. The oil filter is tight, have replaced the cam
plugs and shifter seal. Any guesses on what would leak from just sitting? Not a
big leak, just annoying and would like to fix it. Thanks all!
