Toyota Camry leaks oil from oil filter?

Very strange problem.
The customer replaced the oil filter and next day while driving the oil low warning light came and oil as leaking from the oil filter.

On that basis the troubleshooting is as follows.

It is possible that there is an old gasket stuck to the cylinder block in the gasket on the new filter is causing the leak. You need to get a clamping style filter wrench to put on the end of the filter to remove it if it's too tight to remove. Hopefully you didn't cross threaded. If it one on smooth by hand you should be able to get removed with a clamping style Wrench. Most auto-parts stores sell these clamping style filter wrenches.

This will help.
Thanks.

Troubleshoot Car Oil leak?

Basically like diesel and petrol,the car oil s not used.The oil is there to lubricate engine moving parts.After certain period of time oil gets dirty and contaminated.In that cases its replaced.But if you notice that oil level is got low,then either the oil is leaking or engine is burning oil.
If you notice no oil leak,then engine and its moving components needs proper inspection.Engine burning oil is indication that major engine rebuilt task is waiting for your car.

So first inspect the oil leak.If its getting leaked then oil leaking source has to be located.

Open your car hood and see for wetness,if you notice oil wetness on engine moving parts or engine area then its quite possible that oil is leaking slightly from gaskets.the gaskets are rubber material parts,this gaskets are like seal,there are used in between two metal parts.
Park your car at stable flat place for few hours.Then inspect for any wetness under the car and on the ground where car was parked.If you see wetness ,then its oil leak.
If you notice such oil leak indications then part from where the oil is leaking has to be located.To do this you must have the oil and dirt removed from the engine, then the best thing to do is have a dye put in the oil that glows under a black light, drive the car for 10 miles or so and look all over the engine for the source(s) of the oil leak.
But if you notice,that actually oil is getting consumed lot,but its not leaking,then engine problem is likely to be there.Get the engine and engine components checked /inspected by professional auto part store.

Car oil leaks from valve cover gasket?

http://schematicsdiagram.blogspot.com/2011/12/car-oil-leaks-from-valve-cover-gasket.html


Car oil leaks from valve cover gasket?

First of all,if the valve cover gasket is blown and oil is leaking then replace valve cover gasket.

But if gasket is already replaced and still you notice same oil leak from valve cover gasket after few weeks,then this is indication that you are using cheap low quality auto parts.The valve cover gasket which you replaced may be of low quality auto part.And other possibility for same reason is faulty PCV valve.

A Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) valve.

Check the PCV valve.If its clogged or gunk-ed up with dirt then this is the reason of oil getting leak from valve cover gasket.

Basically PCV valve is on valve cover itself.The purpose of PCV valve is to vent the extra pressure getting created in the engine.If this pressure exceeds then valve cover gasket will be blown up.So inspect the PCV valve.Its very cheap part.And should be replaced on every engine tune up period.

Always use good branded parts.Dont use third grade cheap quality parts.They are cheap,but dont give exact results.

This details will help.Thanks,.
