I have a very slight leak coming from the metal part underneath the oil filter. Any suggestions what could cause this? On the 106 I helped build (laugh if you must) there was a seal there that broke to prevent head gasket failure, is it the same on the st185? was planning to do full service with oil change anyway as I am replacing the turbo... any thoughts?

there are seals, but not designed to fail as per the Pug.
