Re: Oil filter adaptor leak
Just make sure the adapter plate isn't cracked causing the leak. I had that happen years ago on my old 283, and the oil filter fell off the engine and fried the crank bearings before I realized I had a problem. I was lucky and just swapped in another .010 under crank with new bearings and it worked fine, but it was pretty scary.

Re: Oil filter adaptor leak
Mark, i'll double check the plate, but it doesn't look like that's the source of the leak. Im pretty sure it's just the O ring. I have the transdapt o ring on order, but won't be able to get to it for a week or so. Going out of town. At this point i'm just happy you guys got me the info i needed and pointed me in the right direction!
thanks again guys, i'll post an update when done.

Re: Oil filter adaptor leak
Ok...so this is a HEAVILY overdue update.
Because of my wife and I being in a Bankruptcy and losing my job and having to convert our case and winter, Hotdog had been sitting idly by while our case gets discharged. There was a real possibility that I was going to lose my truck. Anywho...on to the update I ordered the trans-dapt O-ring, and the WIX number previously mentioned. Both rings failed to FULLY seal the leak as they were both square-cut rings. I had to resort to using silicone to fix the leak. This too, failed. Partly because I'm sure I didn't let it cure completely. In the end, I pulled the plate again and cleaned it completely off and made sure there was NOTHING left at all. I ended up finding a 90 x 4 mm round metric o-ring from my local hardware store. It had to stretch a tad to get onto the plate ridge, but it stayed in place without requiring any kind of silicone. As of today, hotdog is back up and running. I'll be driving him to my new job tomorrow. Thanks for all your help guys!

Re: Oil filter adaptor leak
Is your adaptor like the bottom picture or top?

Re: Oil filter adaptor leak
Mine is like the one that has 2 bolts holding it on. It's a Mr. Gasket brand I think.

Re: Oil filter adaptor leak
Ok. Get the plate off first, and see how far you have the threads going into the adaptor. There is a bypass plate under the outer filter plate. If you get that nipper loose, use some blue threadlocker to keep it in place. Make sure to LET IT DRY.
Once that happens, you should be able to install the new gasket and the leak should be gone.
