I have an o-ring kit and it doesn't have any o-rings that are flat, where they once round like all other o-rings? just flattened? I could just goto the dealer but don't want to wastes $$..

I don't remember what they look like, but you should make sure that you use o-rings that can handle high temperatures.[/quote]

yeah thats why i just payed $ 6.00 for them :wow: :confused: what a joke, but i didn't want to screw around and get the wrong piece etc. I got them installed and still hvae a tiny leak, i need to tighten the screws down, my oil pressure is 2 like 15 lbs/in^2, so i no its not right. I also took it for a spin and noticed it leaked some. I got stuck 3 times in 10 minutes too! with 1- 1 1/2 inches of snow on the ground. my car is a cold beast, hates winter[/quote]

Just take yor time and do it right. You may want to use some copper silicone just to be safe.

man i still can't figure this out! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png its really starting to piss me off. First i replaced the oil filter, still leak and low oil pressure @ idle, Took it apart and replaced the o-rings w/ mazda replacedmnet, still leaks and low oil pressure @ idle. I let it warm up in my garage and watch 4 leaks. I even rev the hell outa of it too get some leakage! NONE, WTF? I drive it up and down my block, stop and pop my hood, oil gathering in a pool on my rotor housing and some oil on the housing and filter assembly. I have fucked with this for the past 2 days, god something so ****** small and stupid starting to really tick me off. Could it be coming from the rotor housing? maybe a shot oil seal or something? There is no oil being burnt though coming from my exhaust. I don't understand https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png i think i did this too by pressurizing my system when i plugged those 2 vac nozzles on the oil filler neck. I hope the seals didn't break or some ****! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

Maybe the oil filter assembly has a crack? The oil pressure sender is also in that area.

Check your rear side housing. They can sometimes spring a leak.

yes... I'm not going to be hasty though, i will make sure! im going to put a camcorder under my hood and drive then watch the replay! If it is the sidehousing, how much would the part cost me? Maybe i just needed an excuse like this to finally get me a rebuilt TII engine put in :sigh:

You could try letting the car idle while you shine a powerful light in that area.
