So its actually coming out from in between the top of the oil filter and the housing?
If so, surely you have something stuck between the rubber seal and housing?
What do you think?

I would be looking at the thermostat (oil) housing, the bolt head (plug) that you can see has an o-ring sealing it and it can leak, Regards Frank.
O-ring number 4 Frank?Quote:

I dont think it is leaking from there. More so where you screw on the filter.
Yes 3 & 4, mine was leaking from there, I could have sworn it was the oil filter leaking, but it wasn't, if you take the whole housing off, it is a bugger to get the old gasket material off the block, was on mine anyway, Regards Frank.Quote:

Okies, so now I have gaskets and stuff. Going to pull it off tomorrow and have a good look and a degrease.
Also, in the pic there is some oil further up on the bottom of the injector lines....Me thinkd it is coming from higher up??Quote:
