Going to check mine tomorrow. Parked the car up tonight and noticed a few wisps of smoke in the headlamps as i walked away and could smell hot oil so i guess it will be leaking |

Mine wasn't leaking when I checked it a couple of weeks ago, but I am still keen to find the correct size so I can get a supply ready for when it does leak. ( Ideally an old ring to take to the supplier I have found.) |

The previous owner of my car had to have the complete filter housing replaced under warranty due to an oil leak. It was a tiny crack in the casting which only showed when warm so he had already had the gasket changed twice previously due to the same leak. All good now |

Black stains on the driveway, then a sniff of burning oil, a quick look underneath, oil everywhere, so will check the pipe as discussed here. Did we ever substantiate the ring sealing toroidals dimensions??

There may be a delay whilst everyone frantically scours the house for a dictionary |
