Remote Filter Mounting

j par said
I put a remote filter on my car when I dedicated it to the track and built the new Stroker motor. It seems to always have some kind of itty bitty seep and was always suspect for me too cause a leak and a problem. I eventually just took it back off and used it 0 9 0 Mopar filter from Walmart. I mean it's what I used with the remote filter anyways. I thought I was going to stop pouring oil on my headers and things like that when I change the oil, but it was still a messed up on the fender wall. And again like it was more potential for disaster. All four hoses are another potential for a leak as well as another sealing point.

When I bought my Duster it had a remote filter and worked fine until I tore everything down for a new top end including new headers. After I reinstalled it, it leaked. After having it on and off 4 times I replaced it with a Hayden unit from O'Rielly's and it leaks. Now I'm seeing it isn't needed?? Can you remove the filter from the top? Because if the only reason for the remote filter is leaking oil on the headers when you change the oil I'm going back to that method. I'm getting very tired of taking the headers off trying to fix this leak.
