My experience with massive oil leak occurred when I replaced original =
filter with a spin-off.The problem was at the engine block and the =
adapter for the spin off. I had to modify the adapter by filing a small =
notch in it,so that it fit flat against the block. Problem solved THEN =
the cleanup began!
