My 2004 with 25k miles developed an engine oil oil leak that hangs from the oil drain plug and the oil filter housing. (Valve covers and everything on the top end appears dry) I am thinking it may be coming from the timing chain, lower cover area or the oil filter cast housing. Looks to coming higher than the oil pan, so I am going to rule the pan gasket out for now. Oil drain plug seal was replaced.
Is it common for the oil filter housing to leak and if so would it be the gasket from housing to engine? I would rather change this gasket than dig into the cam chain cover.
Does the engine oil need to be drained before removing the oil filter housing?
Thanks!
