Oil Leak

[jims-terrano]

OK guys have a look at this, do you think it is this banjo bolt that needs nipping up or the oil filter that's weeping?

Well remember this Oil Leak. Well today thanks to Bigbunny and Solarman for supplying the bits I've got the leak fixed.

Please see the photo in post number 3 which shows the oil filter housing and turbo pipe. If you look carefully you can see the turbo pipe with it's banjo bolt. The banjo bolt screws into an adapter that in turn screws into the casting of the oil filter housing. Well the adapter was cracked and the replacement has a small crack but not to the same degree, I personally think this aluminium adapter cracks on most of them but never leaks.

Another view of the cracked adapter.

Thanks to Bigbunny for spending the time to trace this and fix for me.

Turned out well in the end mate :thumb2
Seems to be a weak link that adaptor! Strange as to why it is made from aluminium!
