walterh Posted May 4, 2007 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.
newtoncd Posted May 4, 2007 Posted May 4, 2007 When you removed the old oil filter, was the gasket still attached?
