oil leaks

There's adjuster bolts of the inside of the steering knuckle. These are stoppers for when turning full lock. Make sure both adjusters are there for starters.

Hey guys well got under patrol today and I have a little oil leak. It seems to be around the oil filter. The filter itself is tight. So I was thinking it may be leaking where the part that the filter screws on to and the block. Any ideas

Had the same thing, seemed who ever was doing my filter changes weren't changing the "O" ring
So next oil change did the filter with a new "O" ring provided with the filter and all is good.
Just a lazy mechanic taking a short cut at my expense,
plenty of oil running down and onto the front diff.
No need to over tighten the filter housing it can only lead to problems later on
The "O" ring hold it in not the housing

Hey guys. Well I got under the old girl. And guess what I have a small oil leak. It seems to be coming from near the oil filter but filter is tight. Thinking it might be coming from between the block and the part that the oil filter screws on to. What do u think.
