Ladies and fellas I just put in Leroys oil cooler and line kit and Im getting a little seepage coming from somewhere hard to pinpoint....w a possibility being the banjo bolt that mounts the 4x4 oil filter adapter.... i just torqued it down w a regular ratchet without doing any research as to it having actual torque specs. With that being said, this is my research on torque specs. Anybody know if/what that might be? thank you in advance!
 
Where does the crush washer go?

I had my adapter on and off a few times and have no memory of it.
The copper washer is only used on certain adapters, 95 & earlier, I don't know the adapter part numbers.

The washer goes between the bolt head and adapter.

I think the way to tell is if a o ring is on the bolt and inside the housing where the bolt goes in, no washer.... But I don't have a drawing at this time.

Can’t find a drawing either. Can’t remember if my original 96 motor had one but, I’ve got it on my current 6.2. Between the bolt and the adaptor. In the shadow….
