New filter leaking, just like old one (original) did after awhile. Surfaces cleaned, gasket slightly greased, filter spun on 3/4 turn past seated. Not spewing but leaking enuf to get the filter gunky after mowing.
Any ideas?? Thank ye!

Because of the large rubber gasket on these filters - there has to be at least 1/16 of an inch compression (at least that is what I would think). Therefore - even with a slight surface imperfection it would probably seal (unless the machined surface is convex or concave at some point). I would check to see if the fluid is coming from a seal point above or behind the filter. My two cents. ....
