I got the oil insert from citroen. But they may not have any left so it might be better to find one before you start to take things apart.
You have to take the mk2 filter housing away which I think leaves 2 holes. One is filled in with the insert and the mk1 filter screws onto that. The other hole is supposed to be tapped and a bolt fitted to block the hole. A m10 tap I think.
Alternatively you could fill it in with a metal filler of some sort. Some people have done it and had no problems. I didn't do this I used the tap method with a cheap bit of kit and have had no problems. Been on a trackday and other spirited driving and had no issues with leaks.
Only problem I had was that my mk1 filter rubbed against the manifold. Was a toyosport mani so not the best brand. Had to use a filter from a Renault clio which is the same but a bit smaller in length. This is a common thing I found when researching about it.
There is a guide stickied in the performance section that gives a guide.
When it comes to the oil loss it was only the oil that was currently in the filter. So you may need to give it a small top up.
