    Weird oil leak ofter oil, pan, and filter change? M20

    Please feel free to watch my YouTube video below and give me some guidance on what to do! So there is an oil leak dripping down just below the oil filter from some kind of openeing? There is no lose hoses. Only leaks while car is running. Just finished doing the pita pan job, noticed a new leak! Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    Seems like the oil cooler base.

      ? Some more info please? How can I stop the leak, and is there something missing where it's leaking from.

        Is that oil spitting out? you'll need to remove the c-clamp and change the o-ring.

          Yup that's oil, there is a c clamp and oil ring right there? Like where it was dripping from.

            If it were me I'd pull off the oil filter housing and replace all of its seals.

              Ok great, the oil light above the rear view is for temp right? I've had it come on a few times. I wonder if the leaking is related to the oil cooler and lines also

                The oil light in the check panel is for oil level.

                  Ok, so it looks like some oil filter housing gaskets will aid the issue, Thanks! I appreciate the feedback
