Can someone post an exploided view of oil filter, adapter housings, lines, - the ones that leak. And any other information - o ring part #s Thanks in advance. 2001 V6

 

Hope this helps

 

Using the OEM GM parts websites is a great resource for these exploded diagrams and for cross referencing part numbers.

I had the o-ring (#2) for the oil filter adapter go on my old 92. It did not damage the motor but I lost a lot of oil the few miles to the shop to have it fixed. (I did not have a garage at the time).

Whenever the oil lines are replaced, I suggest the o-ring (#2) and the gasket (#1) for the adapter be replaced too.

A trick I adapted from the hot-rod motor builders was to use a dab of Vaseline to hold the gasket in place during the reassembly. Apparently people will pack a new oil-pump with Vaseline to prime it when part of a motor rebuild.
