thanx to all for their input
i recently purchased a car with one of these installed, and trying to find an oil leak (turns out the oil pressure sending unit was dripping down onto the filter)
when i removed the adapter i found the small inner o-ring but i wasn't sure if the outer lip just went into the block without that square rubber seal....
nick, you're right about looking for more than 1 seal in the block, those canister filters had a tendency to shred them!
