Fuel Filter leaking from Banjo Bolt (top)
I just replaced my fuel filter and the car runs good, but there is a slow, dripping leak from the banjo bolt. Do the holes on this bolt have to line up a certain way when installing the new filter?
I took it apart once already and tried using teflon tape to stop the leaking. It doesn't leak from the bottom, that connection is fine.
any help or suggestions will be appreciated.

I don't think I did. The new fuel filter came with some copper ones, but there wasn't one on it when I took it off. I saw those holes in the boilt and thought maybe fuel had to be able to flow through them.

The holes dont line up with anything. You need two washers on the banjo bolt, one on each side of the fuel line. By the way, those copper washers that come with aftermarket filters suck, OEM silver colored ones are thicker and seal better.

you need to get the special washers from the acura or honda dealership
they are specific to honda, they arent universal
