hey guys my car has been leaking oil for a while now like quite a bit of it and i thought it was coming from my oil pan so i replaced the gasket and it hasnt leaked around there but instead it is leaking right underneath the oil filter. Ive wiped it clean and after i go for a drive i will find a puddle of oil sitting on some sort of ledge almost thats part of the block. Now ive checked all the oil feed lines and pressure sensors and its not leaking from there so where could it be coming from maybe the part where the filter attaches to is warped causing it to leak???

 

have you checked to see if the filter is tight??

 

Or maybe the filter itself distorted from overtightening.

 

change the filter make sure the rubber oring is off the matting surface lube the new oil filter o ring and instal make sure its tight. It could also be the oring on the oil breather box leaking

 

ive replaced the filter its been leaking for a long *** time now myabe foir like 4 oil changes so its not that where the oil breather box located?

It is located to the right of the oil filter under the intake mani. black box with a breather hose off it. I think there a 2 bolts holding it in place. remove it and change the oring. I dont think that will dump the amount of oil that you are seeing. You don't have an oil coiler adapter on it do you? They have their own oring to seal them to the block you unbolt the threaded ( it has a nut welded to it)shaft for the oil filter remove that adapter and replace the oring.

 

I know for my car i had to put a new oil pump and the gaskets there were also burnt out. So you might want to check that
