Hello folks,
I have a pretty sizable leak coming from my engine, and there is a lot of wetness around the filter housing, and even some slight puddling in the various nooks in front of the filter housing. I ordered up a Genuine BMW filter housing gasket and a new bush/valve thingy which will arrive soon.

My engine is a very custom 2.1L M42 with an M44 timing case (because it has a slightly larger oil pump, and it does not have the awful deflector sprocket that is so prone to failing on the M42), and it also uses the M44 oil filter housing. Anyway, regarding the black bush part, does anyone have a picture of the correct orientation for it when it is installed? I really want to make sure that I don't put it in backwards.

Thanks!
