Looking at the filter head - it appears the oil is leaking from the bottom of the part, as all above it and the pipe connections are dry.

Is this a common problem? What is the solution? Is it a new head piece?

Hi ben

Thank you for the link. I did a search, but it didn't pull up that one. I shall order the parts tomorrow.
