Thanks for posting this. I'm going to have to swap out the housing for a new one because the *oil change place did exactly what you talked about. Overtightened the oil filter cap and cracked the housing. Anyway... Your video was very helpful
Awesome! Glad it helped! It’s really a pretty easy job. This seems to be a common problem that shouldn’t be a problem but at least it’s a pretty quick fix either way.
This might seem like a silly question BUT: went for an oil change on my 2020 telluride (after I changed the spark plugs myself) and they told me my oil pan gasket was leaking. They quoted me $600 for this, with $180 for the part. I’m struggling to see how a gasket this small could be SO expensive. Seems like I should start here with this gasket.
I would definitely get a second opinion. I will say - if the gasket referenced in the video is bad and leaking oil, it could potentially look like it is the oil pan gasket. But odds are that it is this one instead.
I don’t have any at the moment. I’ve never liked using the pinch welds on modern vehicles. On this particular video I’m pretty sure I place the jack under the front suspension crossmember.
Probably wouldn’t have to. But you will need to add some oil afterwards as some will probably drain out. Some will drain out regardless. Mine was due for an oil change so I drained it first.

How did you clean the housing? Use break cleaner? And are all the bolts the same size---length? Excellent video
I just wiped with a clean shop towel. Some will continue to seep out so you probably won't be able to keep it completely clean.
Just found this video and I think my 2020 telluride is doing the same thing. Thanks for uploading
Hopefully it helps you! There wasn’t much out there on this issue when ours started doing it. So far this has fixed it.

Post fix, and now that winter is around the corner, have you had any leaks?
All good so far. Made it through the rest of last winter, spring, summer, and put to now - so far no issues or leaks.
Do you have a video or picture of jack points on the Telluride? I really can't seem to find anything on the internet besides pinch welds :)

Thanks for posting !!
You’re Welcome! Hopefully it helps someone avoid a catastrophe.
So did that fix the leak?
Yes it did. It’s been about a month but no leaks so far.
Did you have to drain all the oil before doing this?
Probably wouldn’t have to. But you will need to add some oil afterwards as some will probably drain out. Some will drain out regardless. Mine was due for an oil change so I drained it first.
@@arrowjmfarms thanks man, I appreciate the reply
