My oil reservior is leaking out the bottom. On the bottom next to the drain bolt is a block thats held on by two allen bolts. It's leaking where the block is bolted against the reservior. Anyone else have this problem?
 
That block is where there is a screen mesh filter to trap larger stuff. Did you do an oil change lately and not tighten it to spec? Did a dealer do a service or oil change?

I changed my oil last week and hauled this out of an inspection. I was very surprised there was no gasket on it. I have no leaks there yet however.
 
I did my oil change 500 miles ago. I have never touched those two bolts though, I did check them and both were tight/
