Overtightening the oil filter will damage the seal enough to cause a leak (happened on the NA), also the camshaft front seal (pink one) could cause oil to seep past the covers and leak on the oil filter.

Is this a pita, how long did it take u to complete the repair ?
Any tips not in clarks. I need to replace motor mounts, struts, and fix an oil cooler leak. Would it be easier/better access if all were done at the same time ?
thanks
