    Not the case here. The filter that was leaking probably had 5k leak free miles before starting to give out. New filter did not leak at all, just residual oil from the area leaking onto the new filter, that was left behind from the old leak.

    This could simply be a dirty throttle body

    It is alive! I let it sit for 30 minutes and checked, oil level is fine. It is running but still bogging at idle. I’ll scan codes when I come back from my trip in a week. I’m determined to keep this car on the road at all costs!
