Casket for the engine oil filter cover

Hi,

After experiencing dropping of engine oil level (after traveled long
distance) and many small black dirt particles spread around the gap of the
cover of the engine oil filter (believed the black particles are the engine
oil leaks from the gap of the oil filter cover during engine running), it
prompts me to find out should there be a casket for the cover cap of the
engine oil filter by design.

I did not notice any casket during the first time when I opened the oil
filter cap to replace the oil filter(Suzuki Marauder GZ125, got it second
hand from a bike shop).

Any advice is appreciated.

Hey YC,
Yes, there should be a gasket. You might need a "casket" if you are
planning to bury the bike at it's funeral. ;-}

 

That's pretty rich. A spelling flame from someone who doesn't know the
difference between "its' and "it's".

Thanks for the entertainment.

Is a flame the same thing as weak joke? Don't be so quick to judge, he
did include the ;-) after all.

No, the flame was Dana's spelling correction, which unfortunately
contained a grammar error.
