so i decided to change my oil. the car was running fine, very strong, before i attempted anything i got an oil filter cap wrench and a strap wrench to get it out. i got the old filter out and replaced it with a bosch 3402 i tightened it well, maybe too well. filled it with oil to max line, no more. then i started it and i found my oil light to be on so i shut it down. i checked my oil and it was reading empty. what the hell? i just filled it! so i look under the car... (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) ...and find that the car had puked all of the oil out from somwhere around the oil filter. so i take the filter out and put a new one in and fill it again. i didnt start it right away i changed my brake pads and went and got more brake fluid and fast orange(that stuff is the work of god) so then i started it again and it puked all the oil out again (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/sad.gif) oil came out from the same general area. all of it... again it was a bosch 3402 so what is going on? did i break anything? is the bosch 3402 the correct oil filter? did i break or lose a seal? how can i fix my car so that it will run, for the first time in about a week? please please if anyone has any information please help. id like to have it running for tomorrow night so i can go on a date with my girlfriend in the 72 914 as opposed to the lincon continental(the boat that dosent handle at all) anyone have any ideas? |

Yet ANOTHER instance of WAGuessing and speculation. I've never seen a filter console spontaneously fail, and I've been wrenching on 914s for close to 33 years. Put some oil in it, jack the thing up, and have someone crank it over (coil point wire unplugged) while you actually LOOK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ENGINE! Novel idea, right? You could actually figure out where the leak is! REALLY! Then, and only then, you should ask this list what is the most time/cost effective way to repair it. As Joe Friday often said, "just the facts, ma'am". People are telling you to clean the threads on the filter pipe, yet you clearly told us the filter spun on easily. They're condemning the Bosch filter, yet you've used 2 different new ones. How likely are they to both be bad? BTW, "3402" is NOT a Bosch part number, so, right off the bat, we have erroneous information, not facts. In addition, the instructions printed on most quality filters read something like "Tighten by hand, 1/4 turn past the point where the filter is seated." Your wrench COULD have damaged the filter.
