Drip on td5 oil filter

[Paul Johns]

Hi all just noticed that some oil on botton of sump made worse i think by A/C driping on to side of engine then mixing and dripping on to floor not much about one two drops, looked underneath and could see oil on bottom of paper oil filter do u think this is source? I suppose gasket gone should i leave it for now or change filter they are ****** to get on again?

Thaks all

If you mean the canister type oil filter, it may well be loose. I've had to tighten mine by hand a couple of times now. I think the vibration of the engine must make it work a bit loose.

Cheers, Andy
