Iv'e got a massive oil leak at the oil filter adapter plate. The leak is so bad that not only does it mark its territory it marks the line moving from one territory to the next. The leak only occurs when the engine is running so it was hard to trace until I got the car on a lift and left it running; then it was easy to see. Leaking out the bottom of the adapter plate.

I have seen Ted's fix for the adapter plate and will try that when I get the steel one off. I have ordered the aluminum type with an o-ring seal shown below.


Obviously a China product so don't know if it will work; anybody else use these with success?
