Oil leak by filter

[Alaskabuick]

I noticed a leak by the filter today. Looks like it it dripping from the housing that the filter screws too. looks like it is where this housing (the one with the two cooling lines) hooks to the front cover.

Is there and o-ring in there? I would imagine that is the issue.

Thought I might ask here 1st before diving into it.

thanks for any help!

Yup, you need to replace the O ring. Be sure to buy the oversized "O" ring offered by Kirbans or G Body Parts. Good idea to have a couple spares around .

Go to a pool supply store. They have the o ring just have to match it up its a bit thicker then stock. And it seals so much better. There 3 bucks

Sounds like your area is an untapped market for pool supply stores! It could be a legal monopoly!!

I you need an Oring I have one I can mail you for $5.

It's most likely the o ring. I would check the adapter - the piece that the lines screw into, mine leaked from where it was pieced together and I had to replace it also.

IIRC its a #144 oring stock and #145 is a lil thicker

Nasty do these numbers apply to GM part numbers?????

 

[turbo nasty]

o rings are labeled by number thats what the above number refers to. NOT GM

Actually it I dont think it would of been for a small item.

Large stuff shipped here is a fortune.

I really appreciate the offer and it was a nice gesture from a fellow Turbo owner..
