if u have an H series check ur oil cooler o-ring. $3 part from honda and it makes it look like ur oil filter is leaking when its actually coming from closer to the block.

If u do have an f22, then u need to upgrade ur oil changing skills.

thats HMT man. Its just how it goes. But there are alot of useful ppl on this site...
It gets interesting at times....and its just moreso expected to cover the basis before hoping some of these guys spoon feed info.

I had this problem for 6 oil changes before i stopped being lazy. Its more of a pain in the *** to put the o-ring in, because it doesn't wanna stay on its own.

a few drops of gasket maker or rtv just to hold the o-ring on there.

U'll usually only see it leak when the engine is warm (rubber expands to open the leak)
