Oil Leak! Finding An Oil Filter Adapter Gasket

[Hedge]

Hi. Could anyone give me a bit of advice please. I've an oil leak and thinking it was the oil filter I put a new one on. The leak is still there, and the faster I drive the more seems to leak when I park up. The leak seems to be coming from around the oil filter, so I reckon it must be the oil filter adapter housing gasket. Where could I buy one of these from. I've been pulling my hair out trying to find one. I'm a newbie to Chryslers and any help would be really appreciated. Than you.

Have you removed oil filter and checked it has it's seal on. It has been known to fall off during installation. I've also heard of using two seals if damage to housing.

Hi thanks for your reply. I had a new oil filter put on thinking this was the source of the leak but its not. The guy said its its coming out around the oil filter housing and running down onto the protective panel. Apparently this sort of leak is quite common for this year at around 100.000 miles. I still can't locate a ruddy gasket.

I've been told that the actual housing has a gasket that fits between it and the engine. This is a common leaking place as far as I've been told.
