I had a problem with a leak and it was caused by one of the bolts (there are only 3) holding the oil filter housing losening up causing a leak.

It might make some sense as Jerry mentioned to remove the oil filter adapter if you have clearance problems. I'd use a new gasket (from Jerry) and torque the three bolts as shown in the FSM. I think you are supposed to use threadlock on them, check the FSM.

Good Luck
