Oil Filter Hpse

[carob]

I dont suppose anyone has got any photos of the hose set up around the oil filter have they. I think i may of found were me oil is going. When was saying no oil marks on the floor i have just noticed it is all over the inside of the bonnet were the oil filter is. The hoses are fixed to the filter via two steel elbows, but the hoses are only attached to the elbows with Jubilee Cleps. I would of expected them to be crimped fittings atleast.

My hoses are only attached to the elbows with hose clips, and have never leaked. Maybe you have a split hose, or the unions to the filter base need a tweek?

Cheers guys i will give everything a nip up.

Jeff,oil change was carried out 1200 miles ago with service, then i topped it up with 3.5/4ltr when i noticed it had dropped well low.

A mate made mine up with proper hydraulic ends and used my old ones as templates,I'd have thought any hydraulic workshop could do it for you.

Yep Rob quick trip to Pirtek and they will be able to sort summit out connection wise rob. Probably NPT or BSP thread cone fitting. Stay away from taper fittings and PTFE tape. But you already knew that anyway didnt you

Check these out www.speedflow.co.uk - they sorted out my brake and clutch lines plus they have oil related connector products too. You'll probably need to send of your old items so they can be matched up with a price...
