walterh Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 I changed oil yesterday, tightened the oil filter 1/4 turn after contact, tightened the drain plug plenty. On my way to work this morning, my oil light came on and I noticed oil dripping constantly but could not yet tell where it's coming from. After work, I'll double check my work. The drain plug was too tight when I went to remove it so I was pushing hard but didn't hammer on it or anything. I know I have had a leaky gasket but it never leaked like this. Any ideas or suggestions? Maybe it's time for a rebuild. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newtoncd Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 When you removed the old oil filter, was the gasket still attached? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walterh Posted May 5, 2007 Author Share Posted May 5, 2007 When you removed the old oil filter, was the gasket still attached? Yes. gasket was still attached to the filter. After looking closer, it looks like the oil could be coming from the pan gasket or maybe further up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
