I've been running this machine for a bit now after picking it up last year and every time I run it, oil is leaking out of the oil filter cap. Not just a couple of drops either, a substantial amount.
So, I pulled the cap today and there is a seal in there, paper like. I am debating how to proceed.
The Filter is kinda crushed. Probably will order one of those. Anyone have a lead? I found this one on ebay, Facet 38493-2 Filter 384932 | eBay seems a bit much, but it is convenient.
I'm debating sealing with RTV, but that would make it hard to remove later?
Could also cut a new gasket out of some thin cork gasket material I have?
Perhaps I am having issues because the filter is screwed up and that is creating unnecessary pressure on the whole system?
Thanks
Pete
