Re: 94 GSR oil leak from the oil filter
did you lube the seal before you put it on? those seals are fragile and if not lubed they catch the clock when you are tightening them and tweak or rip. take it off and replace the seal or the whole filter

You may have double gasketed it. If it was an aftermarket (non honda) oil filter you had on their befor, the gasket from that one may have stuck to the block. so you put the new oil filter ontop of it. Happens more than you would think.

Re: 94 GSR oil leak from the oil filter
What kind of filter? part number?
Are you using same filter for re-do?
More info needed. Take a picture of filter and housing/mount on engine.

Re: 94 GSR oil leak from the oil filter
I couldnt see any possible problem other then a crack in the block right at the filter or something.

Leaks before you start the car? Doesnt even sound like the filter is going all the way up to the block if it leaks before it gets oil pressure.

Re: 94 GSR oil leak from the oil filter
it's not the filter gasket, I check that 6time and the filter is all the way to the block. It look like it's coming from the inside, but leaking from the filter.

Re: 94 GSR oil leak from the oil filter
I don't even know, 
but it has something to do with the sandwich plate, in it's inside. Where the filter is, every time I start the car up it's will start dipping like crazy... coming from the filter. :/
I don't get the sandwich plate, I need more info and maybe some pictures, anyone? thanks

1) misplaced,
2) hardened with age,
or the cooler itself is loose on the block.
Remove the oil filter. You will see a really big hex-head on the threaded center-pipe inside the oil cooler. The center pipe may have come loose at some point while the oil filter was being removed, and oil is now dripping past the O-ring. Re-tighten that hex head to 54 ft lbs, then install a new oil filter. If the cooler nut is already tight, then you probably need to replace the O-ring.

Re: 94 GSR oil leak from the oil filter
The "sandwich plate" is an oil cooler. It will have two coolant lines coming out if it. There is a large O-ring that seals the oil cooler to the block. I'll bet your leak is coming from the seam between the cooler and the block, in which case the O-ring is either
