I've got an '01 E7 460 that has the double spin on with centrifugal filter on top. It seems like the oil filter housing is leaking down the side of the block. It seems to be getting worse over time so it's time to get at it. I'm new to working on this engine but it seems like the oil cooler is right there with it. I'm thinking drain down coolant, unhook lines going to the cooler, unbold housing at block, replace gasket or whatever it has and bolt everything back up. Does this seem about right and is there anything I should know or any extra parts I will need? I tried searching and couldn't find a topic on it. Thanks for the help.
I had the same problem, the weeping oil leek kept get in worse, so I replaced the gasket, but it turned out to be a poorest manifold casting so now I have to do it all again.
