A leaking water filter is usually a bad O-ring, an overtightened housing, or a cracked sump. Here is the Stillwater guide.

Water Filter Leaking: A Stillwater Fix

The O-ring

A dry, twisted, or worn O-ring is the most common leak point on a filter housing.

The overtightening

Cranking the housing too hard distorts the seal and causes drips.

The crack

A hairline crack in the clear sump can weep under pressure.
