You've likely checked but since it hasnt been mentioned yet:  just in case =
- make sure you don't have remnants of an old o-ring still in the oil filte=
r base.  That is the cause of leaks quite often actually. =20

And I'd probably go Hylomar Blue as well for a little extra assurance=2C th=
ough I don't know if its strong enough to really hold any kind of pressure =
differential if there is a problem area that the o-ring can't handle.
