Hello all,
Really need an advice. Going on the road trip tomorrow morning and not sure if its ok or not.
On Wednesday changed the oil and filter.
o-rings too.
Yesterday I found a little oil getting out under the oil cup, really just a mark but still.
I tighten the cup a little bit more.
Today still the same amount, coming right where the pointer is on the picture.
Unfortunately have it wiped with a finder.

Question is, Is it ok to take a cup off and check the o-ring and put it back?
Newer had this problem before and its not a huge amount but still something isn't right.

I don't have spare right now.

Thank you in advance.

 

I would.

 

Take it off and inspect, you might just have to relube the seal and put back on. Do not over tighten

 

You could have a little debris on the o-ring. I would take it off, carefully remove the o-ring from the oil filter cap, wipe it off and coat it again with a small amount of motor oil. Then put it back on and replace the filter housing cap. Torque the cap to specs (25 nM, do not over torque).

 

Thank you all, i didn't take the cup completely off just lose it a bit and tight it back to spec.
So far 300 miles on the road all looks good.
