Changed my oil filter twice now and its still leaking from the filter seal, both times i have put the genuine nissan filter on and it still seems to leak oil when the engine is hot...what can i do?

Could be the oil filter housing has a hairline crack and opens up when hot, a pig to replace in situ but possible.

sounds likely, cheers daveman

Have you checked there's nothing above the filter thats leaking and making it look as if its coming from the filter ? Just a thought......

My rear main seal was leaking and it ran down onto the filter. Can make the source difficult to diagnose...

seems as though its coming from the seal...ile have to get underneath again tommorow if the rain stops to have another look
