I have checked the mount as the seepage is coming from the base and it appears true and flat....however, I must be missing something and will likely replace it to hopefully lick the concern. Remember, if'n you can solve a problems with a check, it is not a problem, it is an expense <g>...it is only a problem if you can't afford the check. I hope I order the right one from Summit Racing as not to have to reroute any systems. One more possibility comes to mind - but, first, one question. Did it ever work without leaking? One of the problems I had to deal with when machining my oil filter mount ( http://members.cox.net/rogersda/Products.htm#oil005 ) was getting the center gallery as nearly square to the gasket face as possible. If the threaded tube that the filter screws onto isn't square, part of the gasket won't compress as much as the rest, and could leak. The only way I know to check this is to be able to see the junction between filter and mount face, and verify that all parts of the gasket contact the face at the same time. Dale R. COZY MkIV #0497
