Post subject: 2000 Passat V6 2.8L oil leak
|
|
|
Ever since I've had this car, it's leaked oil near the oil filter. I've
always used NAPA gold filters. After reading on here, I've ordered a MANN
filter to see if that solves the problem. Can anyone suggest another cause,
other than a poor seal at the filter gasket?
Do you have to put the filter on really tight? I've always used "1/4 to 1/2
turn after contact". Any other suggestions?

Clean higher up than where you think the leak is. Maybe apply some
tape. See if there could be oil coming from somewhere higher. |

I always put it on as tight as I can with my hands. Do you lube the seal
with some oil?

Not valve cover gaskets--I've already had to replace those at about 40K
miles, which really chapped me, btw.
Not camshaft seals--yet!
I'll check the oil galley plugs in head.
Thanks,
Tim

Doesn't the V6 have an oil cooler right near the oil filter which has a
gasket?
With the 4 cylinders these oil cooler gaskets crack and leak oil sometimes.

Yeah, I always do that. Learned that from my dad many years ago.
Thanks,

Epoxy works great for sealing the oil galley plugs in head.
