Leaking oil from above oil filter. I have oil prssure guage and Pro Charger plumbed into the 1/4" NPT hole jsut above the filter. I just took all that apart and put together with teflon tape...... definetately not leaking from there.

Took inspection mirror to the back side of the head / valve cover and intake manifold, and appears to be dry from the top.

Is there a block plug in the area that would cause oil to leak from above the oil filter (other than the one mentioned below)??

Not ******* my car, but I seem to chase oil leaks constantlly on this LT1 motor.

Thansk for your input!!

 

Are you sure the oil filter adapter hasn't come loose?

 

^^^thats where i would check.

 

In my experience, teflon tape does not work that well on oil. I tried it once on the oil pressure sending unit, and it always leaked. I removed the tape, and used ARP thread sealer; hasn't leaked a drop since.
