Leaking remote oil filter setup

[180bfj20det]

Ever since I bought new from revolution automotive a remote oil filter kit, my remote oil filter setup leaks. I cant really identify where it is leaking from because the remote oil filter is difficult to see without taking it out of the car which I will do soon (ie extend to oil lines and run the car to identify the problem).

Has anyone experienced this problem or knows maybe what it is?

O'ring on the oil filter itself would be my first port of call:cheers:

Did you use teflon tape around the thread of each of the fittings that connects the oil lines to the remote oil filter, it could be seeping though these.

No. But it does not seem to leak from the fittings. Nevertheless, good idea and I will aplly some teflon tape to definately rule out the fittings. Looks like the O-ring to me where the leaks originate from. Does anyone know what oil filter is best for fitment on the revolution remote oil filter kit?

Thanks guys

Might not be the oil filter your using, could be that the ring has split or somthing. Did you oil it up before putting it on. Oh and make sure you dont over tighten it.

Can't remember if I oiled it up or not...mmm prolly did tighten a bit at first. Ill get a new one and follow your recommendations but first I just wanna be sure I have put on the right filter.

Cheers
