    Last January, I changed the oil of my engine and replaced my oil filter. Last week tumutulo na pala yung oil. Upon checking medyo nag loosen yung canister. So i re-tightened it and wiped the oily residue. Upon checking just now, parang tumutulo parin.

    What could be wrong? ( Sorento 2009 ) 105,000kms on the clock





    Here’s my Sorento. Very well maintained since 2009 Kia Sorento Oil Leak

    Your picture as a basis of logical reasoning, you have a bad kimchi oil filter.
    The oil seepage looks like it was coming from the oil filter base gasket and below, possibly bad seal at the base and the filter shell. Try with another filter.

    How tight should the oil filter be?

    With a gasket lightly lubricated with lube oil and with the filter mounting free of the old gasket, hand tighten the oil filter 3/4 to 1 turn after the gasket makes contact with the oil filter mounting flange.
