Hey all,
I changed my oil filter and oil a few weeks ago. Haven't started the car yet because I am waiting for a new fuel pump. The weather was nice for about 3 weeks and no leaks were visible. Last week the weather became a fair bit colder and when I came back to the car, a small puddle of fresh oil sat underneath the K member. At first glance it seems to come from the filter. Could this be just because of the cold weather?
I also put some oil on the rubber seal before putting it on and tightened the filter by hand 3/4 turns after it was snug (like it said on the WIX filter).
Should I get a new filter? or tighten it up more? or wait to run the engine?
Best,
Thom
