I noticed a oil leak during a previous trip. I thought it was loose rocker cover bolts. Tighten them up and though was all OK until I changed to engine oil today. When I looked at the filter I realized that the bulk of my leak was coming from the oil cooler adapter. I am aware of using the gasket from the just removed oil filter as a new gasket. Well I did that with no idea of the torque, but figured it was not very much since you don't torque an oil filter all that much and it is the same gasket.

Well it leaked a drip a minute when I stated the engine. Then I figured I would tighten it some and now it leaks more.

Does anyone know the proper procedure for using the gasket from a used filter? How much to torque it? I must admit after 16 years of oil changes I never paid much attention to the gasket between the oil filter base and the oil cooler adapter. It never seemed to leak before. After I changed my engine a few years ago it started to leak.

These pages are the only ones I am aware of at the photo site.
