<div dir="ltr">I think there is (or used to be) a Moss re-seller somewhere in NE Mass.....

The dye showed slight leaks around the <br>
valve cover and side cover, but the main flow was coming from the oil <br>
filter pipe adapter (I'm not sure if that's the right name). My guess <br>
is that I need to replace the crush washer that sits between the block <br>
and oil pipe adapter. I haven't found a good diagram online - most <br>
engine diagrams show the other side of the engine, and then the oil <br>
filter diagrams usually show oil coolers/hoses - but I think the washer <br>
is Moss 324-800 (or 6K501). Shipping out a washer (or a few washers) <br>
costs about 10x the price of the washer, so I'd like to find something <br>
local if I can, more to save time than money. Does anyone know if <br>
there's a generic description of this washer so I can check with local <br>
auto parts stores?<br>
<br>
Two follow-on questions:<br>
<br>
1) How can I get access to the adapter so I can replace the washer?<br>
2) As long as I'm removing that adapter, should I just go ahead and <br>
install an oil cooler? It would be overkill, but it doesn't seem like <br>
it would be much more effort, and the cooler kits include the washer. ;-)<br>
<br>
Thanks.<br>
