RE: Spin on Oil Filter Adapter

Jim,

I had a similar situation and traced it to leakage at the dip stick.  New felt 
washer helped a lot... but have thought to making a brass sleeve to solder on 
the stick so the dipstick fits a little tighter in the hole.  I assumed it was 
splash from the pan at high revs.

On my open Breather TR4 the blow-by tube also spreads "rust prevention" in 
that spot.

For what it's worth
