make sure you dont have a restriction in the cooler or one of the lines.Have had many of these off and never had trouble with leaks.Also did you torque the mounting bolts on the adapter ?I use grease to hold gasket and o ring in place while installing
Good idea - I'll check for a restriction. I did torque the mounting bolts. I took the filter off last night, cranked the bolts down some more and it didn't slow the leak down.
When I installed it, the engine was on a stand. I had the luxury of being able to rotate it upside down to install the gasket and o-ring. Will have to use the grease method this time around.
I'll have to take a very close look at it before I take it out. I'm 99.99% sure that it's coming out between the block and the adapter. I don't see where else it could be coming from.
