[WANTED] Rubber gaskets for 318 magnum.

[wes beem]

My 318 magnum motor in my 1970 dodge dart is badly badly leaking oil, down by the oil filter on the rear passenger side corner of the motor. i was told theres 2 gaskets i need, one that fits on a bolt that goes into the motor and another one in the same vicinity... i have no clue what they are called and my online searches havent turned up anything useful. Drew some arrows on a picture i found on google to show where the issue is. if anyone has these gaskets or knows where to get them id like to know. thanks

Are you running the 90°oil filter adapter???

Then there is a gasket kit for those...

Show a picture of the oil filter on the pass rear of the block to verify...

If oil is confirmed to be coming out of the perimeter of the oil filter, then this may help.

Sometimes when oil filters get replaced the old filter's gasket gets stuck and left behind, which can cause leaks, so that should be checked if not already. Also oil filter mating surface should be cleaned to insure good seal, along with the new filter gasket getting a little oil on it at time of installation so it does not stick.

It is called oil filter housing gasket.

This is a a thread discussing this.
318 oil filter adapter, does it use a gasket? | Moparts Question and Answer | Moparts Forums

My understanding is if you do not have a 90 degree adapter, it should only take the single housing gasket in the first pic, otherwise you may need the additional gaskets.
