Oil filter adapter leaks oil

[Sweet98]

Has anyone ever had their oil filter adapter leak? If so can you give me some info about it. I believe that the oil leak is coming from my oil filter adapter but I am not sure. It could also be slightly above that, may in the block somewhere.

I am not sure what you mean by oil filter adapter but i think that what your talking about is an oil cooler i think well at least this is what my auto teacher told me and i have not had it leak but whe i took of my filter it also dripped from there. But when i put the filter back on it also tighted the cooler/adapter back so it did not leak any more. Maybe your oil filter is loose? just a suggestion

Perhaps it was put on too tight and the seal broke.

what I was refering to is the peice that connects the oil cooler to the block. That is called the oil filter adapter.
