Oil leak probelm

[Jdmhero]

The part where you screw the oil filter in to on my 1g 4g63 is leaking horrible, non running and running it will leak out onto the driveway. Is there a bypass kit or a way of replacing it without killing my wallet? Thank you in advance

If you crushed the cooler installing the oil filter, you'll only leak oil into the coolant. It sounds like either the spline (the big bolt looking thing with the threads) needs tightened or the gasket is shot. I think the spline takes a 23mm deep well socket, but don't quote me on that.

Did you lightly oil the gasket when changing the filter? With that much leakage, I'm guessing you've ripped the gasket, or the center cooling unit bolt has backed out enough to break the gasket seal.

Unless you have oil and coolant mixing. Then you're gonna need to replace the filter housing.
