My Frantz oil bypass filter was leaking oil at the pressure inlet fitting after more than 10 years of service. I replaced the filter base with another one used on my other car, which is now gone, but, after 3 years the same oil leaking issue happens again.
Do I need to buy a new Frantz filter base with new fittings for the replacement? Or I can just replace the fittings with new ones to re-use the old filter base?
Are there any good sealers that can be applied to the fitting joints such that future oil leaks can be prevented?
I have no such a leaking issue with my Frantz ATF filter probably due to lower fluid pressure.
Thanks.
