#1: leaking oil filter Author: michaelcarol, Posted: Thu Apr 13, 2017 1:03 pm ---- Hi guys. After changing the paper oil filter on my 206 cc 1.6 16valve, I am experiencing a leak from the threaded section of the 'container'. I have fitted a new 'o' ring. Are there any of you who have come across the same problem? Suggestions welcome. Thanks, Michael.

On the whole it's usually just the rubber got 'pinched' as it's screwed down.
Replace rubber band smear with petroleum jelly/vaseline and refit.
Sometimes however, people overtighten that plastic cap...(the max torque is 25 n/m! which is just a little more than finger tight for a rough guide) If that's the case, check plastic cap for splits/cracks, if found, purchase replacement and refit.

I'll have another try in fitting the 'o' ring with a smear of vasaline. Sounds logical now. Will send another message with the outcome. Thanks again, Michael.
