Alpine 87.5

I changed the oil seal 2 weeks ago when I did Tb/wp and I am still leaking some oil. I rarely ret a puddle, but everyrime I put it on the rack there is oil from the rear of my pan to the sway bar. Like it blows from somewhere when im driving. I am not using a Euro oil filter, could that be the culprit? Thanks.

they go through oil galleys and will leak if not properly tightened. i know a few people who have had this happen, myself included

Replaced mine, and it eliminated an oil leak up front. If you've replaced it, well, nevermind, heh.

Do the 5 cylinders have the same oil cooler as the 4 cylinder, if so check the "O" ring between the oil cooler and filter housing. Mine was leaking under pressure and finally blew catastrophicly spewing much of my oil out. Luckily not before engine damage.
Good Luck

Unfortunately, no oil cooler on the JT/KX

There's always the main gasket at the oil fliter assy that could be the prob.

valve cover gasket, main seal, or check the seal again. Maybe just left over from previous leakage.
