Just been on a short trip and checked on return under the hood. Noticed a leak where the oil filter plastic cap mates withe rest of the filter housing. I have already replaced the seal when changing the filter and the other oring on the mating thread . I dear not tighten the cap with the 36mm socket it's already solid tight! No cracks detected on the black plastic cap either? It could be the total leak problem. Any ideas other than buying a new full filter housing plus seal at £200 ish? When I can clean the engine in the specific area next week, hopefully then as time goes by I can trace the source of the leak! Also when I remove the under belly engine tray to do this it may be possible using a mirror expose the leaks source. Any other info is appreciated. Regards
