Get an o ring that fits under the head of bolt and another one put between washer and canster. This has allways worked for me . You want to keep extra o rings because you will have to replace them every time you change oil filter. [Reply]  [No Email]

I then brazed a thick washer onto the top. Took it down to a local machine shop and had him put it in a lathe and true up the top of the washer. haven't had any problems since. [Reply]  [No Email]

The washer doesn't look like anything is wrong with it. The NAPA guy suggested I use sandpaper to clean it up and try it again. Hate to go to the Farmall store and pay $6 for a washer! :( [Reply]  [No Email]

Easiest way to fix that is to find another canister. [Reply]  [No Email]
