Hey guys so i've been having a problem with my oil leaking for about a year or so. I first thought it was my valve cover so I got a new one and its not that. Then I realized that I never really used a crush washer for my oil filter. Do you think you can get a oil leak from not using the crush washer?

 

Do you mean the crush washer on the oil drain plug. There is no crush washer on the filter. The filter has a rubber ring for sealing. If that is missing, you can certainly have a big leak. If the crush washer is missing from the oil drain plug, you can also have a leak. The simple solution is to get a crush washer and install it or get the filter problem fixed. You should also clean the bottom of your motor so you can see where the oil is actually leaking.

 

What he said and definitely clean up the bottom of the engine bay.
