Oil Filter Sandwich Problem

[RamR33]

Hey guys have a bit of a problem with my R33 skyline.

seems to be leaking a bit of oil from the seal at the back of the oil filter sandwich which i was told by the previous owner it had a leak and which he had put a bit of gasket glue from dripping down but as soon as i done the oil filter change it got worse and dnt no why.

have no time to take it mechanics and really dont wanna risk driving it as oil is coming out.

any ideas of a quick fix as in gasket glue or anything to have it sealed thats good or how i can get a new seal from where and that ?

any help would be great.

Did you make sure that u only put 1 oil filter seal on with the filter? Like did the seal from the old filter stay on the car? That causes oil to leak everywhere and it's easy enough to do

i had a look at the old oil filter and that black seal was still on there plus ive gotten underneath the car and had a look to see where it is coming from and its coming from the around the sandwich seal were it goes all round.

Ive had a look carefully from the top and have seen nothing of any oil coming from the oil filter seal around there.

would alot of oil come out if it was the sandwich seal cause there was a bit of oil coming out atleast a cup full if left on idling for 10min or so.

if u mean a sandwich plate for say a pressure or temp gauge or for oil cooler then the oring between the plate and the filter houseing could be stuffed, remove & check and match up some orings for it if the origional is no good & see how it goes

I had same problem I had pinched the o ring causing it to leak you will need a new o ring
