M44 Question

[Fantiz]

I have a severe oil leak. I thought it was the oil pan and timing cover. I replaced all the gaskets with oem parts. I even added some sealant per the techs advice. I let it sit for a day and a half crank it up and bring it to temp with no leaks. I drive it and park it in the driveway and boom huge puddle under the car again. I am now pulling the oil filter housing which it is wet under it with a puddle collected right above the oil pan on the block. IS there an external oil line that I am forgetting or anything I am overlooking? I know it is something simple and most likely the oil filter housing, but I want to cover all the basis before I assemble everything again.

Thanks Daniel

I don't think M44 has any external oil lines. It would be better if you check when the leak is coming from though. Could be a cracked oil pan?

Checked that no dice. I have it all apart now with the oil filter housing looking to be the culpret. I ordered everything today and we will see if that is the fix. Thanks for the reply.

Some oil filter housings have two plugs that leak.
