RE: This ever happen to anybody?
Well i took the old oil filter seal off? I've been wrenching for about 16 years now. So i checked that trust me, and yes it is very common to double seal it. Its the weridest thing i have great oil pressure but when i add to the proper level it just pours out of the oil filter housing area. I checked to make sure the filter is tight. I can't really see were it is actually leaking from until i get it on a lift, but when i do i will find out for sure. I use lucas with my oil. I was just wondering if there was some kind of relief valve inside the housing? Just thinkin maybe there is to much pressure or somthing causing a relief valve to open and dump it on the ground, but i don't know i'm going to investigate it further.

Now that i got some light on the subject. I found the culprit!!! I changed the filiter and put a new one on there. Brought the oil level to the proper level. and It started pissing again!!!!! Lost about a quart of oil and then it stopped just like before. So i investigated further and found a pin hole at the bottom of the filter houseing twards the block of the engine. Looks like a rock or somthing hit it. So now i'm going to get out the old JB Weld and see if that will fix it otherwise i'm going to have to break down and get a new oil filter housing.

I'm smelling what your farting, but checked all around the housing above and below. I started it up and put my finger over the pin hole and it had quite a bit of pressure coming from it. So i just JB welded it and it has stopped pissing everywhere. Now its just a very slow drip. I guess i'm going to either get rid of the car or get a new oil filter housing from somewhere. Or maybe go and trade it into to a dealer and finally get over on a dealer for another car.

And just for FYI you can't go to the local parts store and get an oil cooler/filter housing. They don't care em and can't order them. So if i decide to keep it now i have to go on the hunt at local junk yards or find a blown up engine, which is a pain in the ****.
