I'm going to do the oil filter adaptor gasket, I just did the oil pan gasket today and haven't added oil yet. Since the oil pan gasket is leaking I'm sure this gasket is next to go so I may as well take care of it now before it gets cold outside.
I'm not worried about the oil because the motor is dry. My question is, does the coolant have to be drained completely as well? Will I just lose whatever coolant is in the adaptor housing and area around it or will all the coolant in the system pour out until it's empty?
Also, is there a risk of the coolant or oil lines contaminating each other when the adaptor housing is removed?
Thanks in advance guys, I'm just going over all the what ifs in my mind before I do the job in the morning.
