Subject: Re: oil filter gasket

---

Thanks Lawrence. I doubt the type of oil was the issue with the gasket as it was Penrite Shelsley medium.
To be honest having dismantled it again I think the leak may be due to the canister not having seated properly. My good even tightening of the bolts may well have distorted the rim!
Having straightened that, I shall try again tomorrow. I must have done this, satisfactorily,at least 30 times; age perhaps...
