Oil leak help

It could also be coming from a failed sump gasket? Have you jacked it up and had a good look under there with a torch?

Right spent most of yesterday trying to get the new o ring to sit in the oil filter housing but it just won't sit where it should.

Anyone that's done this got any tips as the only thing I can think is use something sticky on the o ring

Not that I know what language you're speaking but have you got the right bit?

From memory of what I've read on the US forums I think someone mentioned having to use some oil on the gasket to hold it in place...but it should fit snug in the oil cooler whilst you fit it...

Here you go I found a how-to http://www.preludepower.com/forums/show ... p?t=324248

Page 7 http://www.preludepower.com/forums/show ... 248&page=7 mentions its difficult to keep the o ring in place - so he used some grease to hold it in...
