I started my car today for the first time in like a month, fired right up thank god, gotta love those Die Hard Gold batteries! I notice my leak seems to be coming from under the oil filter area, and thats where I have my small puddle, if you would even call it a puddle, under the car. I know Jim will read this- so Jim- will that MazdTrix block for the oil pressure gauge come with the o-rings to solve this problem? If its the source of the leak to begin with that is. I am usually very neat with my filter change, and this leak started a while after I did my last oil change, so I dont think its residual from my last oil change. Sooooo, is this common? I know my 1985 RX had the same leak if I remember correctly.

Yes, it's probably the o-rings under the assembly. The Racing Beat adapter will include new o-rings.
