Default Leaking oil from the oil filter area
I have an oil leak from the oil filter area, but it doesn't seem to be from the oil filter rather the Large nut under it. There isn't any room to get in there with a wrench to try and tighten it. Any one know what this might be?

Was this after an oil change or any work in that area?

Nope on either count. This weekend I will change the oil and and see if I can get something on the large nut just to see if it is loose.

Mine leaks from there too. You can get a socket on there with an extension and an elbow, but mine was pretty tight, so it didn't do me much good. Any thoughts on taking the bolt out and sealing with a little loctite 574/515?
