Going to check mine tomorrow. Parked the car up tonight and noticed a few wisps of smoke in the headlamps as i walked away and could smell hot oil so i guess it will be leaking

Mine wasn't leaking when I checked it a couple of weeks ago, but I am still keen to find the correct size so I can get a supply ready for when it does leak. ( Ideally an old ring to take to the supplier I have found.) |

The previous owner of my car had to have the complete filter housing replaced under warranty due to an oil leak. It was a tiny crack in the casting which only showed when warm so he had already had the gasket changed twice previously due to the same leak. All good now Paul

Black stains on the driveway, then a sniff of burning oil, a quick look underneath, oil everywhere, so will check the pipe as discussed here. Did we ever substantiate the ring sealing toroidals dimensions??
