[Mgs] oil leak

Oliver, my A60 Ute has a banjo bolt that attaches the pipe to the filter 
head that often requires a little tightening.  It doesn't take much 
loosening to really kick out some oil.

You might want to take a look at that -- it's worth a try anyhow.

Hi, all.

apparently i have an oil leak.  apparently it is leaking down onto the frame
way up front, under the oil filter or farther forward.

is there a usual suspect in this area or do i need to get it up and get
under and do some serious detective work?

should i be looking at switching to stainless steel hoses if, what i think
is true, its in the oil cooler hose connections to the oil filter?

thanks!
