00:00:00.030 in this video we're going to take a look 00:00:02.18000:00:02.190 at an engine oil leak that exists on the 00:00:05.51000:00:05.520 front right side of the engine 00:00:07.76000:00:07.770 compartment when we take a look at the 00:00:11.47000:00:11.480 rap guard on the left side of the 00:00:15.20000:00:15.210 vehicle we will notice the oil leak from 00:00:18.17000:00:18.180 the engine 00:00:18.92000:00:18.930 this oil it might be coming from the oil 00:00:21.38000:00:21.390 filter or other parts thats related to 00:00:25.09900:00:25.109 the oil filter so if we're going to 00:00:27.34900:00:27.359 remove this rap guard we must first 00:00:30.07000:00:30.080 remove these four ten millimeter bolts 00:00:37.54000:00:37.550 and then we will remove because Rob bar 00:00:41.84000:00:41.850 to see where the leak is coming from 00:00:53.79900:00:53.809 that's the rock guard that's removed 00:00:56.68900:00:56.699 from the Nissan Titan and here we will 00:00:59.24000:00:59.250 have a ten millimeter bolt ten 00:01:01.36900:01:01.379 millimeter bolt and we will have also a 00:01:04.21900:01:04.229 ten millimeter with a washer because 00:01:08.08000:01:08.090 someone did you in here and we will have 00:01:11.71900:01:11.729 another one here so we have four bolts 00:01:14.05000:01:14.060 to remove 00:01:17.10000:01:17.110 in order to get access to the oil filter 00:01:36.03900:01:36.049 little pinpoint this oily we will wash 00:01:39.39900:01:39.409 down the area with a cleaning solvent 00:01:42.03900:01:42.049 and continue to drive the vehicle for X 00:01:45.73000:01:45.740 amount a mile this will help us identify 00:01:49.16900:01:49.179 exactly where the oil leak is coming 00:01:51.63900:01:51.649 from 00:01:58.53000:01:58.540 here's the new filter and before we 00:02:01.98000:02:01.990 install it we want to make sure we test 00:02:04.32000:02:04.330 fit the filter first make sure that the 00:02:07.11000:02:07.120 threads run up very smoothly and the 00:02:11.91000:02:11.920 seal is nice and slug pull the two 00:02:16.29000:02:16.300 filters side by side for an inspection 00:02:18.18000:02:18.190 but it's best to install the filter 00:02:20.75000:02:20.760 which is the preferred way now we're 00:02:23.52000:02:23.530 going to take some oil and add it to the 00:02:25.23000:02:25.240 new filter so we could saturate the 00:02:28.02000:02:28.030 media element inside the filter will 00:02:32.04000:02:32.050 keep filling it until the oil is soaked 00:02:35.16000:02:35.170 up into the cardboard media filter so 00:02:45.54000:02:45.550 now when we look at these two filter 00:02:46.98000:02:46.990 they're basically identical but to 00:02:49.32000:02:49.330 honestly tell you the truth you should 00:02:51.93000:02:51.940 always try to get a bigger filter 00:02:53.49000:02:53.500 because the filtration is very 00:02:55.77000:02:55.780 restrictive for a small filter like this 00:02:58.59000:02:58.600 on a v8 engine you see the leak we're 00:03:01.83000:03:01.840 having on this filter was caused by the 00:03:04.17000:03:04.180 oil pressure increasing and this seal is 00:03:09.90000:03:09.910 not so in good condition so now when we 00:03:16.11000:03:16.120 replace this filter we want to make sure 00:03:17.55000:03:17.560 we tighten it enough and we don't want 00:03:20.10000:03:20.110 to have the metal edge touching the oil 00:03:25.38000:03:25.390 filter housing what we want is the 00:03:27.69000:03:27.700 rubber seal to remain compressed to the 00:03:30.96000:03:30.970 housing if you over tighten this filter 00:03:34.82000:03:34.830 chances are the or ring the rubber 00:03:37.11000:03:37.120 o-ring will push out of its guide and 00:03:40.56000:03:40.570 cause a leak now let's install our new 00:03:44.31000:03:44.320 filter 00:04:10.68000:04:10.690 so the standard procedure in installing 00:04:13.02000:04:13.030 this filter is want to take a rag and 00:04:14.63000:04:14.640 turn the filter as much as you can but 00:04:17.13000:04:17.140 with a rag and then you can use the tool 00:04:26.10000:04:26.110 to turn it an additional quarter turn 00:04:30.68000:04:30.690 but most of us mechanic have a very firm 00:04:34.38000:04:34.390 grip so most of the oil filter can be 00:04:38.55000:04:38.560 tightened by hand oil filter is 00:04:43.29000:04:43.300 installed we will now proceed to remove 00:04:46.95000:04:46.960 the drain plug from the oil pan removing 00:04:52.50000:04:52.510 all the oil since we have poured oil in 00:04:56.55000:04:56.560 the oil filter we're still going to 00:04:59.04000:04:59.050 check the oil level to make sure we have 00:05:04.53000:05:04.540 the oil at a proper level in this case 00:05:11.51000:05:11.520 we did not change the oil we're still 00:05:14.88000:05:14.890 using the oil oil and we can see it's in 00:05:17.58000:05:17.590 where we want it at a cold temperature 00:05:29.96000:05:29.970 now let's proceed the start of the 00:05:31.70000:05:31.710 engine and see if the oil leak persists 00:06:45.90900:06:45.919 we have the engine shut off we can still 00:06:49.42000:06:49.430 see the lake presses from the oil filter 00:06:52.92900:06:52.939 housing now we're going to remove the 00:06:55.80900:06:55.819 oil filter and its housing and inspect 00:06:59.52900:06:59.539 the seal for the housing to the timing 00:07:03.01000:07:03.020 cover let's remove the oil filter like 00:07:07.89900:07:07.909 we did before 00:07:33.26000:07:33.270 alright so let's remove the cooler hose 00:07:37.08900:07:37.099 these hoes are what circulates coolant 00:07:41.32000:07:41.330 inside the oil filter housing so once 00:07:50.96000:07:50.970 once we have this rules remove we really 00:07:53.80900:07:53.819 don't want to drain the feeling so I've 00:07:55.93900:07:55.949 develop a plug 00:08:29.42900:08:29.439 team 00:08:41.58000:08:41.590 so on this end I basically use a 3/8 00:08:46.42000:08:46.430 extension and I plug it in the holes to 00:08:48.25000:08:48.260 stop the flow of the coolant and a place 00:08:50.65000:08:50.660 that to the side now we can take this 00:08:52.00000:08:52.010 plug out of here now I'm going to use a 00:08:56.80000:08:56.810 7/8 wrench combination wrench I'm going 00:09:00.04000:09:00.050 to use the box end and remove the Center 00:09:02.59000:09:02.600 nut from the oil filter housing so now 00:09:28.15000:09:28.160 we have the filter housing remove and as 00:09:32.95000:09:32.960 we can see here 00:09:38.15000:09:38.160 you can see here there's a oil seal that 00:09:43.02000:09:43.030 we're going to need to replace 00:09:50.21000:09:50.220 this is a water seal so what we're going 00:09:54.99000:09:55.000 to do now is we're going to clean up all 00:09:56.73000:09:56.740 the surface and we really want to pay 00:10:00.93000:10:00.940 attention to this one in here because 00:10:02.97000:10:02.980 this is where the seal goes in when you 00:10:05.40000:10:05.410 look in here you gonna see a lot of see 00:10:07.65000:10:07.660 all this will get caught up in the 00:10:09.12000:10:09.130 filter of course a restriction so it's 00:10:12.39000:10:12.400 important that you replace your filter 00:10:15.48000:10:15.490 every 3000-mile because then once this 00:10:19.83000:10:19.840 clogged up in the filter you're going to 00:10:21.00000:10:21.010 have a oil leak going to have excess 00:10:23.10000:10:23.110 pressure and excess pressure is going to 00:10:25.26000:10:25.270 push the o-ring out the rubber o-ring or 00:10:27.96000:10:27.970 cause a leak so let's clean this up 00:10:32.64000:10:32.650 we're going to go to the slop sink I'm 00:10:36.69000:10:36.700 going to wash this up you have the oil 00:10:41.79000:10:41.800 cooler cleaned up this is the old rubber 00:10:45.72000:10:45.730 o-ring and it's placed in here now when 00:10:50.19000:10:50.200 we look at it you can see there is no 00:10:52.41000:10:52.420 rise in the rubber o-ring so this is 00:10:55.77000:10:55.780 what will cause our leak but what we're 00:10:58.65000:10:58.660 going to do is we're going to use some 00:11:01.05000:11:01.060 sealer because we cannot locate 00:11:10.60000:11:10.610 a new rubber o-ring now we must address 00:11:16.36000:11:16.370 the surface for the oil pan this is 00:11:20.44000:11:20.450 where the oil cooler will bolt up so we 00:11:22.84000:11:22.850 have to clean all this carbon on its 00:11:25.36000:11:25.370 sealing edge but with a soft razor blade 00:11:29.61000:11:29.620 we're going to scrape the edge 00:11:51.07900:11:51.089 so now I'm going to apply some sealer to 00:11:55.63900:11:55.649 the o-ring we must make sure all the 00:12:00.97900:12:00.989 surface are oil free when we apply the 00:12:04.60900:12:04.619 sealer and I'm going to sit it in here 00:12:16.07900:12:16.089 and I want to apply some more to this 00:12:19.38900:12:19.399 side I have to be careful with the 00:12:22.30000:12:22.310 sealer because you don't want to put too 00:12:24.31000:12:24.320 much because when you push out you want 00:12:26.44000:12:26.450 it to go into these crevices right here 00:12:41.64000:12:41.650 so the trick is to installing this oil 00:12:45.13000:12:45.140 cooler is you want this slot right here 00:12:48.30000:12:48.310 line itself in this little notch that's 00:12:53.44000:12:53.450 how you're going to know that you have 00:12:55.30000:12:55.310 the oil cooler installed properly 00:12:58.71000:12:58.720 so with sealer on both side of the 00:13:01.45000:13:01.460 o-ring we're going to place the cooler 00:13:09.27000:13:09.280 going to install its bolt 00:13:49.04000:13:49.050 let's replace 00:13:52.01000:13:52.020 the coolant line most of the time you're 00:13:55.58000:13:55.590 going to want to replace this clamp with 00:13:57.20000:13:57.210 a warm clamp because these torsion 00:13:59.69000:13:59.700 clamps sometime will lose the clamping 00:14:03.02000:14:03.030 force and you will still get a leak but 00:14:05.81000:14:05.820 in this case we don't have a new clamp 00:14:08.39000:14:08.400 so we're going to simply get by with it 00:14:33.19000:14:33.200 we can replace the filter 00:14:58.35000:14:58.360 we want to clean up the oil make sure we 00:15:01.86000:15:01.870 don't have no oil residue on the outside 00:15:10.22000:15:10.230 we have complete our oil leak and we're 00:15:15.27000:15:15.280 going to start the vehicle again to 00:15:19.23000:15:19.240 check to see if we are successful 00:15:40.10000:15:40.110 we must also check our overflow 00:15:42.75000:15:42.760 reservoir and make sure the coolant is 00:15:45.54000:15:45.550 up the level the coolant reservoir to be 00:15:48.42000:15:48.430 around in this area right here should be 00:15:51.54000:15:51.550 a little bit below this little seal now 00:15:56.55000:15:56.560 we're going to replace our cap we're 00:16:01.59000:16:01.600 going to check the oil level to make 00:16:03.44900:16:03.459 sure we have proper oil 00:16:16.05000:16:16.060 so you want to install the dipstick so 00:16:18.18000:16:18.190 it's fully seated 00:16:19.17000:16:19.180 then we're going to remove it and check 00:16:21.36000:16:21.370 the oil level as we can see we need oil 00:16:23.72000:16:23.730 so let's add some air 00:16:25.89000:16:25.900 now let's restart our vehicle 00:17:21.15900:17:21.169 so we have successfully fix the oil leak 00:17:24.37000:17:24.380 by applying silicone to the existing 00:17:28.61000:17:28.620 rubber o-ring let's top off or a 00:17:32.14900:17:32.159 radiator coolant and check the engine 00:17:34.73000:17:34.740 oil
