|  Oil Leak? Say What???? Yup I have an oil leak. Seems to be comming from the oil filter itself. Only noticed this after I had the 11,000mi. service done. It isn't drastic, but it will leave a pool about the size of a CD if I let it sit for 24 hours. Has anyone else had an oil leak?? And also what in the world would cause this to happen other than a filter that was put on incorrectly (which I assume is what has happened.) Thank you in advance for any reply.

| I heard of old filter gaskets being stuck and left on when changed. Is this filter on tight enough? The manual requires two turns after contact with the mounting surface.

Could be an incorrectly seated gasket. Maybe they used the old filter? Eh....I'd say just have it re-done and see what happens from there. It's probably nothing. Good luck!

| Oil Leakage!!! I've double-gasketted (sp) before on my truck and spilled oil everywhere. So if you had done so I'm sure there would be major problems. Looks like a defect in the product or installation.

| I had the same thing happen to me after I did my first oil change. The filter wasn't tightened all the way. I just turned it a couple of more times, and no more problems.

  | be careful of oil leakage. one of the guys layed an SV down out in gatlinburg, tn due to a double seal. oil will get on your rear tire and make it slicker than snot on ice.  check it before you ride it anywhere.

| Thanks everybody. I called the stealership and I'll be taking it in tomorrow. I think I'll go take a better look at it and check how tight it's on anyway. Once again thanks for the input. If I were to be driving an 1990- harley I woulnd't be so concerned, but it's a suzuki
