My problem - Is the square section seal around the bolt at the base of the filter has hardened/shrunk and causes drips when parked and oil spray to chassis when driving. Seat the new seal in the housing groove with the filter bowl having removed the bolt. The car is stock except I converted the cartridge oil filter to a spin-on filter, installed an electronic ignition system. When the filter bowl was off did you dig out the rubber ring from the filter head seal groove and any others that may have been left in there by previous repairers? Use a sewing needle or narrow scriber point to do the excavation. The engine was completely rebuilt in the late 1990s and I filled it up completely with oil and stored it until the body work was done. I have used the narrower rubber seal on the canister which is the seal shown in the parts book.īefore I try the thicker rubber seal has anyone tried an O ring instead of the rubber band type seal which is easy to miss fit and has anyone experienced the same oil deposit on the chassis rail. The dip stick has a new felt seal and there is no oil around the hole. I have previously removed the housing and squared up the gasket face using wet and dry on a surface plate and fitted a new gasket sealed with Wellseal. I assume that the oil is dripping from the filter canister to housing joint and the air flow around the engine deposits it on the rail.

I am having a problem resolving an oil leak from the Puralator oil filter. After a 30 mile drive a puddle of oil forms on the chassis rail outboard but not directly underneath the filter housing.
