There is some foamy stuff in an aerosol can they sell at Home Depot in the A/C and water filters section that you spray in, it foams up, let it sit there awhile then run the blower. Never used it but it might be worth trying. Saw something like it on a car show on TV, then saw this stuff at

If that doesn't do it looks for a leak between the oil filter housing and the block. If the leaks comes from there, you may not need a new gasket, just snug the five 6mm hex head cap screws. 73 Hank WD5JFR - Original Message - From: hue wong [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What most likely happened is someone forgot to ensure that the drain pipe was seated in the lower half when they removed and re-installed the air filter bucket. I did this a couple of times until I learned to always reach underneath and make sure they were seated together properly. Since
