Oil Leak!

[D Robbo]

Moved the car out of the garage and noticed a few spots of oil on the ground so I had a look round the engine and noticed a big leak coming out around the oil filter but I just cant get my hands in to tighten it up the filter is brand new from unipart I'm guessing that this was done by the dealership I got the car from but for some reason they didn't tighten it up so I'm off to the garage tommorrow to have it fixed.

note to others, always price up dealer service parts before cheap ones as they really are not as expensive as people think. :winky:

lexus use a tool to tighten the filter

[reganlives]

I'm more of a honda man myself and still getting used to all the lex stuff but whats blueprint/adl stuff like if used with the lex? I've never had any issues with their stuff and always used it for my civic. Not the only person that recommends it either as many people think of the blueprint stuff as good quality. Apparently its meant to be closest to OEM?
