ok, this thread is getting wacked out.
i assumed the original post was about a trans leak. rereading it now
makes me realize that its not clear.
so what type of oil is leaking?
most stop leaks for trans and eng oil are of the chemical type so
pose no threat to plugging up filters. non that i know of anyway.
ones that have stuff in them are for coolant leaks and this don't got
no filters in anycase i know of.
