Like the title says. Tried 3 different o rings and still does. Seems like its fine and ull see the ring start bulging out and start leaking. Anyone know why this would happen?
Thanks

 

Where you getting the O-rings from?

 

Autopart
1- mobile
1-fram
1-store brand

Sweet thanks

 

sounds like theres two orings on there dude.

 

lol troy you better believe in me lol!!!

 

Only the Green O-ring on the cap would cause a leak unless the cap itself is cracked. Order the oilfilter with cap and you should be good to go.

 

I believe you James

 

Just check and see if you have two o-rings on there noob. Unless you took an impact gun to your oil filter cap and cracked it lol.

 

Cmon now lol. Im not that dumb
The ring looks good and after leaving it running for a few min you can see it starting to bulg out

 

I dont see how the O ring could bulg out seeing that the O ring is seeted under the bottom side of the cap, unless the caps cracked or cross threaded.

 

My oil filter housing developed a crack due to poor casting and GM refused to warranty it. I had to pay out of pocket to have it welded.

I bet you have the same problem. There have been plenty of reports on here of porous blocks, only on ours the problem is on the outside.

 

Can you show me where Ill be looking for a crack at on housing?

Heres the bulging im talking about

 

u have the wrong oring, and or it is not in the correct groove. it doesnt go all the way to the top of the cap. there is a groove maybe 1/8th of an inch from the top that the oring rest in.

 

I tried 3 different O rings from diff companys.
I put it all the way flush as much it can go to top of the cap.

 

it does NOT go flush to the top....there is a groove about 1/8th down from the top of the cap.

 

But as you tighten it would it go to the top adventully?

 

then u for sure have the wrong oring.....buy the "kit" from crateengine depot and call it a day...check the filter housing and see if there is a oring stuck in there...

 

K thanks man

 

Had a friend look at it and he said it looks like its leKing from the oil sending unit

 

are you torquing it down properly?

 

Yeah looks like the wrong o-ring. Shouldn't stick out that much. Should go in one of the grooves near the top and stay there as you tighten the cap.
