Hey all,
Sorry if its a noob question. But just lately over the last 2 days my car has started to leak oil from the oil filter.
The car is a vs v6 with 165,000 on the clock with full service history up to 120,000. I purchased it late last year of the original owners son with 158,000 on the clock.
So about a month ago i did a full service on the car including:
-oil
-oil filter
-fuel filter
-air filter
-o2 sensor
-spark plugs and leads
-timing belt
-radiator flush
-power steering flush
-tranny oil and filter
Engine oil is 20w/50 as specified in the owners manual and the oil filter is a ryco z154?? Now i just got a new filter tonight and did it up according to the directions as i thought i might of overtightened the other filter when i put it on. But it is still leaking.
So i have now used an oil filter tool to do it up tighter than normal and it is still leaking but not as bad as before.
I have checked to make sure that it is not coming from the sump and the rear main seal was replaced 20,000 k's ago.
So at the moment i am really stumped.
Any help or suggestions would be great
Cheers guys/gals
