Help needed - Oil filter adapter O-ring LEAK
Just wondering how common it is for the oil filter adapter O-ring to leak on the 2000 Lexus ES300. And... also wondering where the oil typically pools up and likes to drip from when it does leak? Specifically... does it ever migrate over to just below the crank portion of the timing cover and leak? Lastly, wondering what the typical mileage was on folks ES's when their rear valve cover gaskets became a problem and started leaking pretty good? Would mileage be a better predictor or would time/age? And... when the valve cover gaskets doe leak, where does the oil typically like to poll up and leak? Thanks in advance.

Got a part number? Adapter O-ring was last used in 1993 to my knowledge. Oil leaks depend on many factors as for where the oil goes, everywhere as you drive air pushes the oil around.
