still leaking

the bottom of the oil pan is damp, the bellhousing is damp with 1 little drip coming off of it, and the filter leaves a spot still

it stayed dry for 12 hrs or so after i tightened the cooler... but looks like im gonna have to take it off the block and replace the main O ring.

coolant wont spill out from taking it off right? im leaving the lines on.

Exactly. No filter wrenches needed to put the filter on.
