Re: [diesel_mercedes] oil filter canister gasket replacement, has anyone done this?

 

Alan,

With this leak and the turbo return leak, that I just fixed, there was oil grime from front to back under the car, before I power washed it, and cleaned things while under there. At some point, I would like not having a drip spot on the driveway.

My old pickup, which sits in the street where the water pools sometimes, started to get rust on the oil pan, so I did just oil it up, and it should be fine.

I wasn't sure the can idea was a joke, as it can be a good remedy in some situations. :)

Thanks Alan.

I hope mine isn't as tough as yours, and at least source some bolts if it is. I don't think the can idea would work too well, as the oil runs down the side of the engine, and sprays back on everything behind while driving. One article mentioned making sure the holes are cleaned out, so the allen wrench fits all the way inside.

Bill,

Possibly so. I think I know what I need to do, though if anyone has done it, maybe there's so tips, or other advice.

There's not much space to work around this repair, and better on a lift, than on my back in the driveway, but that's how it is around here.

Thanks

Bill,

My leak is where the oil filter canister meets the engine. You need to remove the whole canister, clean, replace gasket, and reattach..

Hi,

Even after all the repairs/ maintenance I've done recently, or have had done, I still have a bad leak at the oil filter canister.

Has anyone done a oil filter canister gasket replacement?

I have the gasket, and special shortened wrenches used to work the oil cooler lines, yet it still looks like a PITA..

Any advice? Did replacing the gasket stop the leak? Any special sealants used on the gasket, etc?

Thanks
