Hey Guys
Has anyone ever experienced a oil leak due to the filter rubbing the intercooler bracket? I was driving the car last week for its last run of the year before it gets put away for the winter. Car was running fine when I parked it at a friends house.. When I left, The car was bogging and smoking. I got it home and being it was late and dark I didnt bother with it.. The next morning I started it and it was running fine but I noticed a leak by the oil filter. I also noticed that the filter was sitting right up against the intercooler bracket. Figuring maybe the bracket rubbed a hole in the filter, I took it off and noticed a pretty deep mark in it but there was no hole... Looking for the leak elsewhere I could not find it. So I figured maybe it was leaking from the pressure of leaning on the intercooler bracket and disturbing the seal. So I bent the bracket slightly away from the filter and put a new filter on..Oil leak is gone..Just curious if anyone has experienced this issue before?
