I had a similar experience with the adapter on my TR6. I found that the
O-ring had split. I replace it with an O-ring from a NAPA Gold canister
filter. No problems since then. Also, that particular O-ring was thicker
than either O-rings that came in the MOCAL kit.

<< Has anyone else had this problem with the Mocal adapter kit?
I am using the larger internal o-ring, and have tightened the thing up
pretty tight. Initially I had no leaks, then the car leaked down
overnight after being run. Now it leaks from the bottom of the adapter
plate whenever started. There is no visible gap at the bottom. My
engine is from a '70 GT6+. I am planning on attaching a filter
relocation kit to the adapter plate, but obviously I have to fix the
leak first. Any suggestions? Do I need an even fatter O-ring? Should
I have used the thinner o-ring that was also included with the kit? I
appreciate any comments or help!

Isaac,
I had this very same problem with my MGA. If it's the seal between the
engine
block and the adapter, you can add some non-hardening Permatex (or the
like)
to both sides of the rubber seal, then refit it. Make sure both surfaces
are
clean first. I never had another problem with it.
