Oil Filter housing leak 2002 vtr

[chris205]

Hi chaps, recently done a service on my vtr, replaced the oil filter and rubber seal and now it's pissing out and onto my manifold.

Since the service the only thing I've added is a piper 4-1 manifold.

I can't see any signs of melting as the manifold is quite far away from it, so anyone else any ideas?...becoming quite embarressing rolling to a stop and smoke pouring out the bonnet lol.

Where about is it leaking from? Is it the seal on the plastic housing that goes into the metal bit? or is it lower down to where the oil filter housing bolts to the block? The seals in the block can start leaking due to the heat from the 4-2-1 manifolds, mine did lol, theres 2 or 3 o-rings in there iirc , i replaced my seals and heat wrapped the manifold
