Default ARrrrrgh! Oil leak

The underside of the Mustang has always been as dry as a bone until my last oil change, which I do myself. Out of the blue it developed a steady drip.

As near as I can tell the leak is coming from between the adapter housing and the block so now it looks like I'm going to be pulling that apart.

I checked and the bolts still felt goodntight but as soon as I start the car it turns into a steady drip, drip, drip from the adapter.


Anything in particular I need to watch out for when I do this?

Done. Took about an hour and now it's dry as a bone once again.

Thanks.
