It's puking profusely from the oil filter. Any ideas? I'm getting tired of buying oil at $40.00 a jug figuring it out
Make sure there aren't double filter gaskets
Right here lots of times the gasket stays when you pull filtersMake sure there aren't double filter gaskets
I hate when my 200 Merc pukes oil....... LolThis brings back memories of old outboard church......NAPA should be able to help you
#1 what filter are you running and #2 have you checked the bypass that the filter screws to ? #3 is it clocked correctly ? The bypass can bolt up 180* off and blow oil as you are stating?Brand new oil pump. Checked out the extra ring issue. No dice. Thought I didn't oil the ring enough last time and when I pulled the last filter off the rubber fell off independent of the filter. So I sopped up the expensive oil and and ordered more as well as a new filter. Same thing happened today ... Ran for 15 seconds total. Started at 60 psi and dropped to 20 then 10. Shut engine off and have at least one 4 quarts in the hull and the only thing soping wet with oil is the filter.
I'll definitely check that out when my buddy gets here in the morning with his camera. Thanks for the insight!!!You sure it’s not coming from the oil pressure port directly above that filter? That will piss all your oil put in a hurry, and it will run down the filter and appear like the filter is leaking. Just a thought, check it out
Changed the pan and the pump as well as the pick up. Changed the pump because the old pick up wouldn't break loose..Have you changed anything recently? Has it ever ran without this issue?
4what year is the block? Gen 4 or 5 ?
No cooler, no lines. Filter is mounted to the blockCould the lines and cooler now be a restriction, with the increase in pressure /flow?
Everything is dry except the filter. It's like the oil is blowing by the gasket. There is 60 psi. Then zero.You sure it’s not coming from the oil pressure port directly above that filter?

Exactly what we are looking for buddy! Thanks for the advice all of you! Still going to try the camera out tomorrow morning and see if there are any other irregularities. I'm almost tempted to get my dirty filter from the garbage and give it a shot since it didn't leak.Try the easy stuff first, replace the filter and while doing so look for irregularities in the old filter, gasket and sealing surface of the block.
how did that get messed up it takes the same filter that has been used for over 50 years?...must have been a super salesman at NapaNew filter is the problem,the old filter's gasket od is larger use that part number, friend just had same issue
Super salesman was the problem, filter was not correct for application friend went to manager and got oil replaced for freehow did that get messed up it takes the same filter that has been used for over 50 years?...must have been a super salesman at Napa
I wonder of your oil pressure relief on the oil pump is stuck. Hook up a different oil pressure gauge (mechanical if possible) and double check the oil pressure.
Yes we checked it. we even pulled it and found the filters were bottoming out on the bolts and the adapter. there were grooves on the inside of the filters. fuckin weird! Ill take a pick with the cell phone and upload in a few. I also thought about the blow off valve. the drill was having a hard time keeping the shaft spinning at 60 psi if that means anything?Is the oil filter adapter, the threaded piece that the oil filter screws on to seated completely in the block? We did some dumb shit with big block lumps running in excess of 100 psi oil pressure with zero bypass and never had them push past the filter gasket.
