Scott,

I don't know about the leak. I have heard it mentioned on the 6-pack forum 
from time to time. Most of the problems are with the o-ring or something.

The oil I use is Brad Penn Green oil and it is indeed green! Most oils when 
they are new are yellow to green in color.

I would do a search on the forum for problems and fixes. Many members use the 
spin on oil filter modification.

I am still an old school and have the original oil filter systems on my 3, 4 
and 6.No leaks but lots of fun changing the filter!
