hi
hope you all have had a good xmas

i serviced my cooper two weeks ago its a late 2004 now i have a oil leak.
i know its coming from the oil filter housing. so today i put in another oil filter and new rubber seal and its still leaking from the top of the housing had first filter from roadrunner and second one from motormania. i lightly coated both seals with new oil and tightened to 25nm. as anybody else had this problem and how did they cure it. i have done 1000s of oil changes and never had this problem on any car before

I recently had my oil changed and the very next day I had white smoke and a burning smell. It’s been a couple of weeks now and the smoke is still happening along with a light burning smell. Do you think the shop damaged the housing? It had zero smoke or burning before the oil change. Thanks for your thoughts.
