Can’t find oil leak location

[CasonsTJ01]

What kind of oil are you running, the synthetics and the 4.0 rear main don't always play well together.

The oil filter adapter is in a great spot to have the wind blow oil back.

It screws right to the block and its a brand new filter. I did however take a rag to make sure the surface was good and clean before install. Plus that part of the engine is dry as a bone.

So after a while. The leak is still there and at this point im not touching it again. The effort I had to go through to replace is aint worth the reward. The leak did slow down, but it drips maybe once a week rather than many times a day. Im happy with it as now.

This might work...

Thread 'AT-205 re-seal works like a charm for rear main seal leaks'

Jul 26, 2022

Had a house full of contractors and didn't have time to do the oil change myself.. Dropped at my trusted mechanic and did a few other bits while it was there.

The next morning I see a saucer size puddle of fresh oil. RMS dripping.

Searched around here and the interweb and see many positive reviews for ATP AT-205 Re-Seal for stopping various leaks. hmmmm... that could be an easy solution.
Also saw reference to Titan Stop Leak.. but it was nearly four times the price of the AT-205 with far fewer reviews.

Added one 8oz bottle on July 21st. It treats six quarts. Recommended to...
