I'm having problem with my 94 GSR it's leaking oil out of the oil filter which is weird. Please help... thanks

 

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

 

Yes I did that, have you guys heard of a sand witch? that doesn't inside of there? I think it that, but I'm not sure... any idea?

 

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.

 

I check that, that's not it too...

 

This is my 6 time redoing this oil change cause it keep leaking from the oil filter, with out starting the car it just keep dripping... :/

 

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.

 

That was my guess, I dont like to admit it but it happened to me, I was in a hurry and didnt notice the old gasket didnt come off with the filter.

I couldnt see any possible problem other then a crack in the block right at the filter or something.

 

Maybe threads are messed up and the filter isnt going on staight and sitting flush with the block?

 

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.

 

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.

 

It's a sandwich plate, what's is that??

 

Are you saying it has a sandwich plat adapter on it?

 

double gasket bro

 

if it has a sandwich plate then there probably has a bad gasket on the other side of the plate or doesn't have one at all.

 

This is what a was thinking.

 

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

 

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
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.

 

Yes! your right thanks, you got the answer I was looking for...

 

I will keep this update when I'm done with it...

 

Take a picture of what you're referring to. Makes it 100times easier.

 

Thanks guys, for your info and most of all thanks TheRealTegger I fix the leak, I just had to Re-tighten that hex head...

 

Thanks for the update!

 

This is what I was thinking as well. From the OP's reply, that was correct.
