JimH47Coupe Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 I changed the oil yesterday and I have a leak at the top of the removable oil canister bolt. Is there supposed to be a gasket sandwiched between the bolt and the filter housing? A part number would be hugely beneficial as well! Thanks! Jim H. Quote
RobertKB Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 Yes, there should be a gasket there. Any decent auto supply store should be able to find one for you. Just take your bolt to them to check for size. Quote

Just take your bolt to them to check for size. That was quick! Is it just a standard copper crush washer or is it of a different material? Quote
RobertKB Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 None of mine are copper. Kind of like a very hard rubber or soft plastic. Soft rubber will bind when the bolt is tightened down. If you explain what it is for, they should be able to figure it out. Good luck. Quote
1941Rick Posted April 13, 2013 Report Posted April 13, 2013 It should come with the new filter.......fiber or copper will work Quote
JimH47Coupe Posted April 13, 2013 Author Report Posted April 13, 2013 It should come with the new filter.......fiber or copper will work I used a WIX filter this time around. What brand do you typically use that is included with? Jim H. Quote
Solution Jerry Roberts Posted April 14, 2013 Solution Report Posted April 14, 2013 Rick might be thinking of the gasket that seals around the outer rim . My center bolt has a coper washer but hard plastic or hard rubber would probably work fine . A hardware store would also be a good place to look . Quote
JimH47Coupe Posted April 15, 2013 Author Report Posted April 15, 2013 Added a copper wash. All fixed, went for a 100 mile test drive Thank you! Jim H. Quote
