Oil filter housing is faulty, started leaking oil outta no where and many others I've researched online are having the same problem. Was told by dealer it was cause of over tightening oil filter started leaking right before I was about to do an oil change so I doubt it was over tightened.
Tl the contact owns a 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan. The contact stated that there was a premature leak of oil under the vehicle. The vehicle was inspected by an independent mechanic who contacted the dealer (dewey Dodge Chrysler Jeep, 3175 se delaware Ave, ankeny, IA 50021, (515) 289-8700) to order the part. The dealer stated that the oil housing unit was on backorder with 720 other vehicle owners waiting for the part. The manufacturer was contacted. The VIN and failure mileage were not available.
At 4 years old and about 60000 miles, my caravan started to severely leak oil. It would go through a quart a week. From my internet research it seems like the oil filter housing is the main culprit. I hope they recall the defective parts.
2014 Dodge Grand Caravan leaking oil from oil filter housing. Oil is accumulating on the transmission area. When the oil hits something hot, it smokes. Might start a fire.
A fluid leak was found on the garage floor under our van. Upon further inspection it turned out to be engine oil. We took the van to the dealer to have it looked at as it is still under manufacture's warranty. The dealer mentioned that the oil "cooler" or adapter was probably cracked from the last oil change. This part is what holds the oil filter. It is a plastic part that is subject to torque when the cap is removed and replaced after changing the oil filter. This part is engineered to fail after so many oil changes. Once it fails, oil is forced under pressure on top of the engine, causing a potential fire risk. The dealer will not cover this under manufacture's warranty since they did not perform the oil change. This is a serious issue and a recall of this part with replacement using a metal replacement should be seriously considered before someone gets hurt, not after.
Oil filter housing has a major oil leak. Part # 68105583ae is on national back order because so many of these have failed. I have called dealerships across the country and no one will sell one due to the amount of failures and the only way to get the part replaced is to have the dealership's service department replace one.
