Message	I've been trying for a while to track down an oil leak in my 91 TT. At this point, I'm pretty sure that oil is leaking out of the oil filter bracket, but not where it mounts to the block. It appears to be leaking under the plug towards the front of the bracket and at the part that connects to the oil filter hose. Here's a pic (not my car, just a pic I had saved) with arrows pointing to the leaks. Next time I do an oil change, I was planning to disassemble the bracket at these two spots and reassemble, maybe with some sealant and/or some new washers. But is there something unexpected that I'm not considering? I couldn't find any Nissan disassembly diagrams of this oil filter bracket.

Both come off, though I'd be surprise - BoneZ 18:09:25 04/16/11 Replace the oil cooler hose with OEM - jdubs 08:40:24 04/18/11
