the car had what i thought was bad oil cooler seals. when i did the swap to ss he's and related parts i noticed there was a FRAM oil filter, it was on super tight. after removing there was no appearent oil on the area below the cooler and the cooler itself was dry. i put on a Mahle and fired it up. big time leak. tightened it up a bit, well more than a bit. leak disappeared. until the next day!! i have another brand new filter i can put on. # on the filter is OS 28.
can the filter mount be cracked if a filter is run down too tight? the oil literally puddles on top of the filter, then drip, drip, drip. anybody btdt? on the he's. with the splitter and 2 hoses the fan pushes an incredible ammount of heat. kevin |
