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 wrenchI 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.
