Hi on my 98 2.3L Honda Accord my sandwich adapter leaks as soon as I turn on my car I tried tightening the lines but nothing I put the gasket o ring side to the block and I have a K&N filter that is all nice and tight but it only leaks when I turn it on, please help

What kind of jelly is on the sandwich?

But really we all call things different thing but I have no idea what you mean by "sandwich adapter"

EF203

Haha the sandwich plate that goes infront of the oil filter and trans-dept

You need to take it off and look at it. Both sides.

I'm getting too old for this....I'm still "lost again" () as the what/where the leak is coming from.

The op says "he sandwich plate that goes infront of the oil filter and trans-dept"....what the heck is in front of the oil filter - the block? - but then I have no idea what "and tran-dept" means or is

I've always like grape jelly on my peanut butter and jelly sandwich's......

OP - got a pic of the location of this leak?

EF203

I've done that in starting to think my local store gave me the wrong part

EF203

The leak is coming from the sandwich adapter that is between the block and adapter I tried tightening it more but it's still leaking, now do you understand?

EF203

You've never heard of trans-dept? Well it's not an eBay brand you can look it up I tried getting a good quality brand

I am only guessing here, but are referring to an oil cooler? If so, was it originally on your car or did you add it?

And FWIW the manufacturer or brand name is Trans-Dapt.

You will have to check and make sure that the gaskets (o-ring) is the proper thickness and that the adapter is actually tightening to the block and not just tightening up to the center nut. Also you should check for any deep scratches in the gasket surfaces.

What was the Trans-Dapt part number that you bought?

poorman212

Ok.....Mark is here,,,,,I give up

EF203

Oh sorry and trans-dapt 1313 I should try lining it up better tomorrow when there's day light

EF203

Just read online the thread size on the Honda is 20mm x 1.5 and the thread size on the trans Dapt 1313 is 3/4 so I'm off about a mm thanks for your help

GhostAccord

It's not that you are off a mm. it is that your are running a standard thread on a metric engine. That would definetly cause it to leak. You need to buy the metric adaptor.

Trans dapt only makes 22mm x1.5 or an 18mm x1.5 metric adapters.

I don't see this ending well/////////

GhostAccord

That's why I asked what part number was purchased. I have seen this on more than one occasion.
