in this video we're going to take a look
00:00:02.180 00:00:02.190 at an engine oil leak that exists on the
00:00:05.510 00:00:05.520 front right side of the engine
00:00:07.760 00:00:07.770 compartment when we take a look at the
00:00:11.470 00:00:11.480 rap guard on the left side of the
00:00:15.200 00:00:15.210 vehicle we will notice the oil leak from
00:00:18.170 00:00:18.180 the engine
00:00:18.920 00:00:18.930 this oil it might be coming from the oil
00:00:21.380 00:00:21.390 filter or other parts thats related to
00:00:25.099 00:00:25.109 the oil filter so if we're going to
00:00:27.349 00:00:27.359 remove this rap guard we must first
00:00:30.070 00:00:30.080 remove these four ten millimeter bolts
00:00:37.540 00:00:37.550 and then we will remove because Rob bar
00:00:41.840 00:00:41.850 to see where the leak is coming from
00:00:53.799 00:00:53.809 that's the rock guard that's removed
00:00:56.689 00:00:56.699 from the Nissan Titan and here we will
00:00:59.240 00:00:59.250 have a ten millimeter bolt ten
00:01:01.369 00:01:01.379 millimeter bolt and we will have also a
00:01:04.219 00:01:04.229 ten millimeter with a washer because
00:01:08.080 00:01:08.090 someone did you in here and we will have
00:01:11.719 00:01:11.729 another one here so we have four bolts
00:01:14.050 00:01:14.060 to remove
00:01:17.100 00:01:17.110 in order to get access to the oil filter
00:01:36.039 00:01:36.049 little pinpoint this oily we will wash
00:01:39.399 00:01:39.409 down the area with a cleaning solvent
00:01:42.039 00:01:42.049 and continue to drive the vehicle for X
00:01:45.730 00:01:45.740 amount a mile this will help us identify
00:01:49.169 00:01:49.179 exactly where the oil leak is coming
00:01:51.639 00:01:51.649 from
00:01:58.530 00:01:58.540 here's the new filter and before we
00:02:01.980 00:02:01.990 install it we want to make sure we test
00:02:04.320 00:02:04.330 fit the filter first make sure that the
00:02:07.110 00:02:07.120 threads run up very smoothly and the
00:02:11.910 00:02:11.920 seal is nice and slug pull the two
00:02:16.290 00:02:16.300 filters side by side for an inspection
00:02:18.180 00:02:18.190 but it's best to install the filter
00:02:20.750 00:02:20.760 which is the preferred way now we're
00:02:23.520 00:02:23.530 going to take some oil and add it to the
00:02:25.230 00:02:25.240 new filter so we could saturate the
00:02:28.020 00:02:28.030 media element inside the filter will
00:02:32.040 00:02:32.050 keep filling it until the oil is soaked
00:02:35.160 00:02:35.170 up into the cardboard media filter so
00:02:45.540 00:02:45.550 now when we look at these two filter
00:02:46.980 00:02:46.990 they're basically identical but to
00:02:49.320 00:02:49.330 honestly tell you the truth you should
00:02:51.930 00:02:51.940 always try to get a bigger filter
00:02:53.490 00:02:53.500 because the filtration is very
00:02:55.770 00:02:55.780 restrictive for a small filter like this
00:02:58.590 00:02:58.600 on a v8 engine you see the leak we're
00:03:01.830 00:03:01.840 having on this filter was caused by the
00:03:04.170 00:03:04.180 oil pressure increasing and this seal is
00:03:09.900 00:03:09.910 not so in good condition so now when we
00:03:16.110 00:03:16.120 replace this filter we want to make sure
00:03:17.550 00:03:17.560 we tighten it enough and we don't want
00:03:20.100 00:03:20.110 to have the metal edge touching the oil
00:03:25.380 00:03:25.390 filter housing what we want is the
00:03:27.690 00:03:27.700 rubber seal to remain compressed to the
00:03:30.960 00:03:30.970 housing if you over tighten this filter
00:03:34.820 00:03:34.830 chances are the or ring the rubber
00:03:37.110 00:03:37.120 o-ring will push out of its guide and
00:03:40.560 00:03:40.570 cause a leak now let's install our new
00:03:44.310 00:03:44.320 filter
00:04:10.680 00:04:10.690 so the standard procedure in installing
00:04:13.020 00:04:13.030 this filter is want to take a rag and
00:04:14.630 00:04:14.640 turn the filter as much as you can but
00:04:17.130 00:04:17.140 with a rag and then you can use the tool
00:04:26.100 00:04:26.110 to turn it an additional quarter turn
00:04:30.680 00:04:30.690 but most of us mechanic have a very firm
00:04:34.380 00:04:34.390 grip so most of the oil filter can be
00:04:38.550 00:04:38.560 tightened by hand oil filter is
00:04:43.290 00:04:43.300 installed we will now proceed to remove
00:04:46.950 00:04:46.960 the drain plug from the oil pan removing
00:04:52.500 00:04:52.510 all the oil since we have poured oil in
00:04:56.550 00:04:56.560 the oil filter we're still going to
00:04:59.040 00:04:59.050 check the oil level to make sure we have
00:05:04.530 00:05:04.540 the oil at a proper level in this case
00:05:11.510 00:05:11.520 we did not change the oil we're still
00:05:14.880 00:05:14.890 using the oil oil and we can see it's in
00:05:17.580 00:05:17.590 where we want it at a cold temperature
00:05:29.960 00:05:29.970 now let's proceed the start of the
00:05:31.700 00:05:31.710 engine and see if the oil leak persists
00:06:45.909 00:06:45.919 we have the engine shut off we can still
00:06:49.420 00:06:49.430 see the lake presses from the oil filter
00:06:52.929 00:06:52.939 housing now we're going to remove the
00:06:55.809 00:06:55.819 oil filter and its housing and inspect
00:06:59.529 00:06:59.539 the seal for the housing to the timing
00:07:03.010 00:07:03.020 cover let's remove the oil filter like
00:07:07.899 00:07:07.909 we did before
00:07:33.260 00:07:33.270 alright so let's remove the cooler hose
00:07:37.089 00:07:37.099 these hoes are what circulates coolant
00:07:41.320 00:07:41.330 inside the oil filter housing so once
00:07:50.960 00:07:50.970 once we have this rules remove we really
00:07:53.809 00:07:53.819 don't want to drain the feeling so I've
00:07:55.939 00:07:55.949 develop a plug
00:08:29.429 00:08:29.439 team
00:08:41.580 00:08:41.590 so on this end I basically use a 3/8
00:08:46.420 00:08:46.430 extension and I plug it in the holes to
00:08:48.250 00:08:48.260 stop the flow of the coolant and a place
00:08:50.650 00:08:50.660 that to the side now we can take this
00:08:52.000 00:08:52.010 plug out of here now I'm going to use a
00:08:56.800 00:08:56.810 7/8 wrench combination wrench I'm going
00:09:00.040 00:09:00.050 to use the box end and remove the Center
00:09:02.590 00:09:02.600 nut from the oil filter housing so now
00:09:28.150 00:09:28.160 we have the filter housing remove and as
00:09:32.950 00:09:32.960 we can see here
00:09:38.150 00:09:38.160 you can see here there's a oil seal that
00:09:43.020 00:09:43.030 we're going to need to replace
00:09:50.210 00:09:50.220 this is a water seal so what we're going
00:09:54.990 00:09:55.000 to do now is we're going to clean up all
00:09:56.730 00:09:56.740 the surface and we really want to pay
00:10:00.930 00:10:00.940 attention to this one in here because
00:10:02.970 00:10:02.980 this is where the seal goes in when you
00:10:05.400 00:10:05.410 look in here you gonna see a lot of see
00:10:07.650 00:10:07.660 all this will get caught up in the
00:10:09.120 00:10:09.130 filter of course a restriction so it's
00:10:12.390 00:10:12.400 important that you replace your filter
00:10:15.480 00:10:15.490 every 3000-mile because then once this
00:10:19.830 00:10:19.840 clogged up in the filter you're going to
00:10:21.000 00:10:21.010 have a oil leak going to have excess
00:10:23.100 00:10:23.110 pressure and excess pressure is going to
00:10:25.260 00:10:25.270 push the o-ring out the rubber o-ring or
00:10:27.960 00:10:27.970 cause a leak so let's clean this up
00:10:32.640 00:10:32.650 we're going to go to the slop sink I'm
00:10:36.690 00:10:36.700 going to wash this up you have the oil
00:10:41.790 00:10:41.800 cooler cleaned up this is the old rubber
00:10:45.720 00:10:45.730 o-ring and it's placed in here now when
00:10:50.190 00:10:50.200 we look at it you can see there is no
00:10:52.410 00:10:52.420 rise in the rubber o-ring so this is
00:10:55.770 00:10:55.780 what will cause our leak but what we're
00:10:58.650 00:10:58.660 going to do is we're going to use some
00:11:01.050 00:11:01.060 sealer because we cannot locate
00:11:10.600 00:11:10.610 a new rubber o-ring now we must address
00:11:16.360 00:11:16.370 the surface for the oil pan this is
00:11:20.440 00:11:20.450 where the oil cooler will bolt up so we
00:11:22.840 00:11:22.850 have to clean all this carbon on its
00:11:25.360 00:11:25.370 sealing edge but with a soft razor blade
00:11:29.610 00:11:29.620 we're going to scrape the edge
00:11:51.079 00:11:51.089 so now I'm going to apply some sealer to
00:11:55.639 00:11:55.649 the o-ring we must make sure all the
00:12:00.979 00:12:00.989 surface are oil free when we apply the
00:12:04.609 00:12:04.619 sealer and I'm going to sit it in here
00:12:16.079 00:12:16.089 and I want to apply some more to this
00:12:19.389 00:12:19.399 side I have to be careful with the
00:12:22.300 00:12:22.310 sealer because you don't want to put too
00:12:24.310 00:12:24.320 much because when you push out you want
00:12:26.440 00:12:26.450 it to go into these crevices right here
00:12:41.640 00:12:41.650 so the trick is to installing this oil
00:12:45.130 00:12:45.140 cooler is you want this slot right here
00:12:48.300 00:12:48.310 line itself in this little notch that's
00:12:53.440 00:12:53.450 how you're going to know that you have
00:12:55.300 00:12:55.310 the oil cooler installed properly
00:12:58.710 00:12:58.720 so with sealer on both side of the
00:13:01.450 00:13:01.460 o-ring we're going to place the cooler
00:13:09.270 00:13:09.280 going to install its bolt
00:13:49.040 00:13:49.050 let's replace
00:13:52.010 00:13:52.020 the coolant line most of the time you're
00:13:55.580 00:13:55.590 going to want to replace this clamp with
00:13:57.200 00:13:57.210 a warm clamp because these torsion
00:13:59.690 00:13:59.700 clamps sometime will lose the clamping
00:14:03.020 00:14:03.030 force and you will still get a leak but
00:14:05.810 00:14:05.820 in this case we don't have a new clamp
00:14:08.390 00:14:08.400 so we're going to simply get by with it
00:14:33.190 00:14:33.200 we can replace the filter
00:14:58.350 00:14:58.360 we want to clean up the oil make sure we
00:15:01.860 00:15:01.870 don't have no oil residue on the outside
00:15:10.220 00:15:10.230 we have complete our oil leak and we're
00:15:15.270 00:15:15.280 going to start the vehicle again to
00:15:19.230 00:15:19.240 check to see if we are successful
00:15:40.100 00:15:40.110 we must also check our overflow
00:15:42.750 00:15:42.760 reservoir and make sure the coolant is
00:15:45.540 00:15:45.550 up the level the coolant reservoir to be
00:15:48.420 00:15:48.430 around in this area right here should be
00:15:51.540 00:15:51.550 a little bit below this little seal now
00:15:56.550 00:15:56.560 we're going to replace our cap we're
00:16:01.590 00:16:01.600 going to check the oil level to make
00:16:03.449 00:16:03.459 sure we have proper oil
00:16:16.050 00:16:16.060 so you want to install the dipstick so
00:16:18.180 00:16:18.190 it's fully seated
00:16:19.170 00:16:19.180 then we're going to remove it and check
00:16:21.360 00:16:21.370 the oil level as we can see we need oil
00:16:23.720 00:16:23.730 so let's add some air
00:16:25.890 00:16:25.900 now let's restart our vehicle
00:17:21.159 00:17:21.169 so we have successfully fix the oil leak
00:17:24.370 00:17:24.380 by applying silicone to the existing
00:17:28.610 00:17:28.620 rubber o-ring let's top off or a
00:17:32.149 00:17:32.159 radiator coolant and check the engine
00:17:34.730 00:17:34.740 oil
