We have a <?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com
</st1:City><st1lace w:st="on">Canton</st1lace> oil filter bracket. A nicely machined piece. The mating surface for the filter is perfectly smooth. It leaks a bit around the seal between the filter and the mating surface. We have tried cranking it down really tight. At idle there are no leaks. But drive it a few miles and there will an ounce or so of oil on the pan below the filter and oil around the top where it meets the bracket.

Has anyone had a similar experience with this type of filter bracket? When installing the filter a bit of oil was rubbed on the gasket. Wonder if it should instead be cranked on dry.

Does any one use a removable sealant in this situation?

It would seem that the oil pressure us forcing oil between the gasket and the filter bracket.

Current filter is a K and N. Had the same issue with a <st1:City w:st="on"><st1lace w:st="on">Mobile</st1lace></st1:City> I filter.
