Major Oil Leak!!!

cold96snake · Oct 20, 2005

Started it up today, 1st time in 3 weeks. Went inside for about 5 minutes, came back out and about 2-3 qts of oil was on the ground. It's been a couple three months since I changed the oil and filter. Taken it to the track and such since then. WTF!!!? Seems to becoming from the cooler. PLEASE HELP!!!

Get under there and try to pinpoint where it is leaking from...

Is it possible the gasket from your last oil filter got "stuck" to the filter housing surface?

Read the following thread as well (filter housing shaft/seal/o-ring):

OK thanks, I'll check that when I change the oil today. Just seems wierd that it would start all of a sudden after driving it so much.

Yup, that link says it all. The weep hole poured oil out of it when I just started it up. Apparently the seal expanded as it heated up, so that by the time I looked yesterday, it had stopped leaking.
