Hey Everyone. I've got an issue with am '04 Suzuki Forenza with
~40k. I have changed the oil in this car many times with no issues.
I use a Napa gold filter and mobile 1 5w-30. This time, there is a
leak somewhere (3-5" puddle) around the oil filter. I then got
another filter and I have the exact same issue. This is what I have
done so far:
Ensured the filter was the correct filter, same #s as the one I took
off.
Ensured there was not a gasket stuck on the block itself
Put fresh oil on the filter gasket priot to installation.
1st filter I tightened hand tight, 2nd I added 1/4 of a turn with a
wrench
I still have a leak. Unfortunately where the filter is, it's
impossible to see where the leak is coming from but the bottom of the
filter does have drips with fresh oil. Any help is greatly
appreciated since I am stumped.
Derek
