I'm leaking oil right now from my oil filter. I'm tightened to specification at first and once I noticed the oil leak, tightened it more, I'm still leaking oil. Should I replace the filter?

1. debris from the old seal wasn't cleaned off 2. seal on the filter is damaged 3. filter is too tight or too loose

Considering how cheap it is I would. Mine did this once before i started cleaning the tray before putting the new one on. Dont know if thats what caused it or what. If it happens again with the new one then i would imagine there is a problem

I found this link on google and thought I'd share my experience with this issue. My car seems to be leaking from a gasket under a plastic part that is connected to the bottom of the engine. It's on the front of the engine, on the drivers side. I found an image online that shows the exact location of the part. (see red arrow).
Does anyone know what this part is, so I may purchase a new gasket for it, and replace it? Thank you. ![]() |

That's a local low point that collects anything leaking from above. Look for the highest wet spot.
If it's really that gasket, -o-ring, actually- then you're looking at what's called a camshaft position sensor. Look for it in the service manual. See my sig line.

Ah, thank you so much - very helpful. I'll just add a tiny graphic here. ![]() ![]() Upon further investigation, it is a 2-drip-per-week-leak and it's either this part or the head gasket, in which case i'll try to fill the void with rtv from down undah on a non-driving day to see if that helps. The alternative is to spend approx. $2k for a tech to replace all the gaskets on the engine. And this doesn't sound too bad either, given the thought that everything would be replaced and visualized for further internal inspection. ![]()

If that's not the culprit, most likely it's the timing chain cover.
Might be simpler to name it Dr. Drippy and top up the oil when needed. Bring back total loss oiling.

It is mostly labor since the engine has to come out to do the job properly. It is really quite a bit of work.
