Oil filter leak Options

[danmumo]

I really need your knowledge guys! I found that the reason my oil filter is dry is because my car is leaking a huge amount of oil right where the oil filter goes. Does anyone know how I can stop this and what I would need to do and change?

Thanks for your time

Did you make sure the old oil filter gasket stayed on the filter when you removed it? I've seen the old gasket stay on the engine and create a bad seal when the new filter is put on.

I will be checking this tomorrow to make sure it isn't that.

Other places to check would be oil pan seal and valve cover gasket. Then you have fun ones like the main seal... Hopefully it's something simple.

I plan on changing the timing belt before getting the car on the road next spring and i would like buying this kit :

is it a hard job changing all those gaskets?


and once again guys i appreciate your input, i am new to the 6g and still have a lot of learning to do!!
