    Massive Oil Leak!

    This is PISSING ME THE HELL OFF. I changed the oil and oil filter on the car last month, it hardly leaked much oil other than there were always drops ready to drip from the main seal/timing belt cover.. nothing big though.

    After the oil/oil filter change now it leaks like a BITCH. It's coming from around the oil filter area, and I'm not sure what the fuck is going on! I've put on two filters now, both Fram. I'll start off with it relatively loose, it leaks. I'll keep tightening with the car on and it's still leaking! I'm almost at the point where I can't tighten it anymore. What a fucking nightmare!! It's leaking nearly a drop of oil per second and my exhaust is COVERED in the shit. Imagine how much it's smoking at stop lights, and how often I have to keep topping the POS up. What the shit! Wherever it's coming from it's from around the top of the oil filter, I think. Somewhere above the oil filter. I can see it run down both sides of it.

          Isn't there a sensor above the oil filter that can leak like the OP described?

            I did that! On both filters. I'm on my second one and it's STILL leaking. What's this about a sensor on top of the oil filter? The oil pressure sensor.. Can those leak? How can I check it? I tried visually checking, can't see anything much, and looking through the cracks of the intake mani from above all I can see it a bit of oil on top of the filter.

                Are you supposed to lube just the ring side that's going to make contact with the engine or are you supposed to take the ring out and lube both sides??

                      just a little bit of oil around the filters oil ring. & dont tighten it too hard or youll snap the ring loose

                        Just the side to the motor. Am I mistaken when I say isn't there an oil cooler on there too...? I haven't looked in soooo long. That could be the problem if there is. just $0.02

                          take the oil filter off then you can get your hands in there

                          then cut the boot that covers the switch with a razor blade, careful to not cut the wire that is attached to it

                          unhook the wire

                          then loosen the switch with i think its a 27mm socket

                          and when you install the new switch use some teflon tape on the threads so it seals good

                            I have a '90 Ex, so those just had a plug there instead. The plug is below the oil filter though anyway. =]

                              Oh wow, fantastic directions. 27 socket though? That's pretty big.

                              Guess I'll have to try and grab one..

                              Is it possible that my oil switch is just loose and needs to be tightened further?
