Oil leak around oil filter assembly but looks sealed at top

Post by Propagandazoo »

Hello all,

Is there a common oil leak issue at oil filler hosing shown in attachments?

Losing oil at a rate of 0.4-0.6 litre of oil per 300 miles.

Can a gasket leak at base throw up this much oil (as close to belts, and up a little on alternator?

Or can assembly crack (Chinesium 😆 Not so funny?)

Since top gasket has no obvious clear oil runs.

Any advice appreciated.
