Oil leak.

Hey everyone. I've developed an oil leak on my '94. It has gotten worse over the past couple of weeks. Now it's turned into a constant drip while the engine is running. It seams to be coming from in between the block and the 90 degree elbow to the oil filter.

Look... Pictures.

Clean. Engine not running.


Engine running.


close up.


Now it seams to be over full with oil, but not by that much.



So what do you all think? Thanks.

Nice documentation! You need to pull that elbow from the block (such fun, by the way) and replace the o'rings. It is a real tight spot (PITA). Several threads here already on how to tool up, to get the bolt off if you search. Use "Oil filter adapter naxja.org" as the search words, and use Google for the search.

SO pleased i'm not the only one to notice this. Yes, there are ways around it, but the big G is just SO much easier. :soapbox:

Thanks. I didn't know what it was called. I did find tons of info on the subject.

He was complaining about how much better the google search tool is than the naxja search tool.

I see. Yeah, I went straight to Google after I found out what the name of the part was. Found some great write ups.

The set of o-rings is pretty cheap at the dealer too, btw. The larger generic o-ring I got at the shucks auto was just a tad too thin to seal well.
