oil filter leaking
hey all
i just changed my oil/ filter and i keep having the problem of the filter leaking
when the truck sits overnight, you have a spot about the size of a quarter, on the ground
last time i used a motorcraft filter
and now another brand, its not that big of a deal, but that is the only spot the truck leaks
thanks

Are you sure that it is actually coming from around the seal of the filter to oil cooler flange? I fixed a truck with a pinhole in the top of the oil cooler housing, and it required removal and replacing the oil cooler, particularly the rear header. It looked like the filter was leaking, because you cannot see the top of the header, and it ran down the back, down the edge of the filter and onto the ground.
