Chevrolet Repair: 1996 chevy suburban oil leak oil leak, oil filter housing, chevy suburban


Question
after changing my oil a couple of weeks ago,i now have a oil leak but its above the oil filter housing where it (the housing) meets the engine. is there a gasket that can be replaced ther ? what do i do?

Answer
Hi John... yes there is a gasket there...are you sure it is leaking there...did it leak before you did oil change...if not check to be sure when you changed the filter that the rubber ring from the old filter came off with it..if rubber ring stayed stuck on the filter housing it will not allow the new filter to seal... hope this helps
