Oil leak fixed.....I hope.

[Doubletrouble]

 I found an oil leak a week ago or so. The bolts around the oil filter adapter/cooler were a touch loose. Today I removed the oil filter to gain access and checked them all. A few of them I got a 1/4 turn on till tight. I know they should be torqued but I don't own an inch/lb wrench.......yet.

 I took pics before and after.....

Great another thing to check, thanks a lot  I literally just got done rolling around under the truck looking for something to do

 That's how I found the leak. I was under there doing something else and looked up and there it was! Ugh.

Well this way we stay on top of things instead if being them other guys that one just called me and said " hey buddy's car ran low on oil and it's knocking, do you think it'll be ok?" Lol I asked what car, it's some sonata pos, told him they better of finding a used engine then try to fix that garbage. Amazes me that so many that don't have much money are so lazy to check something simple like oil to avoid these types of situations.

I see it all the time.   They can barely put gas in a car with out driving off with the hose still stuck in the side of the car and you want them to check their oil.  God love them!  It's people like that who pay my bills.
