Default Re: oil leak from oil filter housing

Did you make sure the old gasket was not stuck to the fitting? This happened to me but I caught it before I put the new filter on. I always check the old filter and the block fitting. Maybe you got some dirt on the gasket during install. Another obvious is did you lube the gasket with oil before install?

I cannot think of any other reason it would be leaking. All the oil passes inside the gasket ring.
