I've had four K&N oil filters on my 2004 Pontiac GTO and every one of them has leaked oil from around the seal. When I checked the oil at my last fill up, it was low and I have less than 700 miles since the last oil change. I looked under the car and saw the tell tale signs of oil on the skid plate.
Sure enough, this fourth K&N filter was leaking. I have been very diligent about making sure the filter was "tight but not too tight." I have given up on K&N and now there's a Mobil 1 filter on the car. I'm going to keep a close eye on it and I'll let you know what happens.
While we wait, has anyone else noticed oil leaking from the filter seal? The drain plug? God forbid, the heads? There is no WAY a car this new should leak oil.
Last but not least, how much oil would you expect to "burn off" during aggressive driving? Surely not nearly a quart in 700 miles!?
