I have been living with an oil leak :-( For the '3a I have a Mocal adaptor.

It appears to leak between the filter head and the block. I checked the flatness of the filter head and made sure it is good. Do I need to double the gasket thickness? It was only a paper one. </div><div style="font-family:tahoma, sans-serif;" class="ydp42ca35edyiv8552536848gmail_default">2. The other leak is from the adaptor, mainly from the connection of the outer ring to the filter head. Yes, the sealing rubber ring is there. <br><br>Has anyone had issues with this adaptor? And solved them?
