I'm having a hard time figuring this out. I have oil leaks dripping off my oil filter housing up the ying yang. (Small leaks but in a few different places.) I thought it was just the gasket, oil pressure sending unit, the oil feed line to turbo, and all the bolts that thread in that were the problem.
I had the oil filter housing gasket changed, and all the bolts/lines tightend to spec while I had the timing done (Along with a new oil pressure sending unit.) Still leaks. Now I believe it has to be the part inbetween the OFH and the oil filter that's the issue. Possibly gravity flowing the oil down off that part and dripping off the ports/bolts/sending units off the OFH.
1. Is RTV supposed to be in between the oil cooler/oil filter bracket to the OFH? Mine is caked in black RTV (not from me.)
2. I believe there is an o-ring that can go bad along with the stud backing out, should I just replace those or buy another cooler/bracket?
This is a OEM setup for a 7 Bolt 4G63
