It was simply torqued on too tight. |

Now this is going to make me check on how much tension my oil lines have on them at the plate. :( |
Pulled a couple of sheets from the service manual for interest sake,
Torque spec for the oil filter, http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...ps4b7e708f.png Exploded view of the upper oil pan, http://i1188.photobucket.com/albums/...ps8587b60b.png |

Usually when you over tighten a oil filter, the hex head edges will easily round off. All odds are that the dealer will blame the problem on the installed adapter and deny any kind of waranty service. |
PLZ keep us posted on what the dealer does....... Sorry to see this........:shakes head:

OP you said they did a rear main seal when your clutch was done. Did they do an oil change to??? Maybe that's how this happened. Bc I doubt over torquing from a year ago would have lasted this long. |

So the dealer is fixing it free of charge regardless of whether Nissan itself warranties it or not as like a one time thing type of deal. They still are trying to imply the added stress from the weight of the lines/connector was an issue but if that was really the case I think we would see people with oil coolers all over the forum seeing similar problems. I think its really that the thing was just over-torqued but it could have been something else as well (shoddy oil pan from the factory).
Anyway I should *hopefully* get my car back on Wednesday. This has caused yet another week without my car. Ive driven it like twice in the last 3 weeks now. Makes me a sad panda. |
Glad to hear the dealer is taking care of this. Are they also reinstalling the oil cooler?

Great to hear :tup:

Finally got the car back. Kind of a bad smell coming from the engine area. I think its because it was not completely cleaned. The bill ended up being $1200 (which they covered). Apparently you gotta replace valves and other **** when you replace the top oil pan (according to them).
