Interesting. I noticed my oil filter had some dribbles down it a couple of weeks ago. Tightened a little. It is indeed a Mahle filter.

Really basic thing which I am sure you are doing but...…….
Are you wiping a smear of oil around the seal before screwing the filter into place? If not the seal could be "grabbing" at the dry surface and then later (when some oil has got onto the seal) allowing the filter to leak slightly as the seal isn't tight? Granny to suck eggs and all that. ONE LIFE, GET IT! |
