Oil leak stopped
The garage that inspected my new 55 F350 up in Erie told me on the phone it had an oil leak. I assumed he meant it left its mark like a lot of our Yblock trucks do. I realized what he meant after I got the truck home and saw a puddle of oil on my concrete driveway. I figured out but was coming from my oil filter. When running I could see oil flinging out of it.
I tightened the filter. It has an adapter spin on filter.... I know not stock..... But that didn't prevent the leak. I took it to the local garage. They fixed it. He said a gasket was missing. The missing gasket was the one that goes next to the block, then there is a plate and all are held on by a bolt,then the filter spins onto that.
