Anyone ever have this happen?
Drove the '68 Newport today to get gas and saw a very steady stream of oil pouring out.
Turns out I was missing the underside washer on the bushing for the driver side bracket. It allowed the sway bar to raise up enough to puncture the oil filter.
I've owned a dozen of these 67-68 New Yorkers/Newports over the last 25 years and never had this happen before. Most had broken sway bar brackets and none ever hit the filter like that.
