Oil Leak From Filter?
1991 740 Turbo.
I change my own oil every 2500 miles or sooner and every few oil changes i see that there was not a lot of oil in my car. Today when i drained it i had about 2-3 quarts of oil in it. I always put 5 quarts in. The pan looks good and the only place i see oil really is where the oil filter goes on. Seems like it drips from there. Now i dont overtighten it ever but maybe the oil filter im useing isent exactly right? I have been useing purolator. Maybe its not an exact fit? I know Volvos are picky as hell at times. Maybe i should just switch to a MANN filter? Any ideas? Thanks.
