Re: Cannister Filters
Yeah, dont look under your car anymore.
 But serioulsy folks, there is also an O-ring or sealing washer that goes under the long bolt I believe. That never gets replaced and always drips.

Like Steve said, the gasket around the bold is likely the culprit, but you could also check the "O" ring up inside the block. Maybe there's something between the machined surface and the "O" ring.

Re: Cannister Filters
I forgot to mention that this is on the Rebuilt Engine that just went back in the Chevelle......Didn't leak before..Noticed it right after start up, not much ....just a couple of drips.......It's not coming from the Oil Pressure port...Bone dry there, but I can see where the drip ran down the Outside of the Cannister???????
Maybe I should take the filter adaptor out of the Block and change the Gasket there, but I think the Cannister Gasket bulges out and seals the outside of the Cannister also????? Ken

Re: Cannister Filters
Ken,
Is there a check/by pass valve in the adapter?
