Hello not sure mate
How did you get that last bolt off of the block? The fourth bolt to get the housing off? I can’t get a wrench or a socket on it. It keeps hitting the house. I can’t get access to.

@@downtheshedwithbyron gonna try again this weekend. The problem i was having was the socket was hitting the filter housing and wouldn’t allow me to get a straight on approach. Spoke with my brother who works for caterpillar as a chief mechanic and he told me to grind down one of my wrenches. The thickness of my wrenches won’t allow it to get in the bolt. Hope it works. Called the Mazda dealer and they want $1,000 to replace the whole cooler. I told them all it needed was a gasket. Crooks.

Hose replacement easy on most cars Haha on a CX7 its more getting your hands in there
Hello, I have a 2011 Mazda CX7 with 130k miles, no issues until I noticed that I ran through 10 quarts of oil ( full synthetic) over 2500 miles. The car is running smooth, no loss of power, no overheating, no oil smell. I did notice some oil around the right side of the engine underneath the engine cover, around the large hose at both ends ( sorry don't know the name of it, intercooler turbo hose ? ) Any ideas would be great, thanks !

Sounds like maybe a turbo seal Just take the hose off and have a look

@@downtheshedwithbyron thx for your reply. There is some oil in the large hose that connects to the intercooler for sure. I took it off a few days ago to inspect it. Tomorrow I will remove the intercooler and inspect that for oil as well.
what size is the filter tool.

Toss that junk. And get the updated oil filter housing to use a regular screw on filter. Is what you should have been showing.
