[sr_240sx]

It seems to come from the left side of the oil filter but at the same time does not look to come from the filter it self someone told me it could be the oil cooler but I cant find it. Anyone had this issue before? Any pics. on this or a How to fix this? Like a step by step thing!!!All the help would be great. Thanks in advance!!!!

Don't know if you fixed this, I had the same thing. Had to replace the whole oil filter adapter and new gasket. About 180$ in parts and a good 2 hr job. Shop wanted 450.00$ Was a mess. Kept losing oil couldnt figure out thought it was valve cover gaskets then oil pressure switch.

My problem was the oil cooler o-ring but the oil problem is consumtion about 2 qtz. every oil change.

Yes consumption is a problem. 130K on the motor about a 1/2 qt every 3 tanks fuel. When you have a leak and consumption you gotta watch it!
