I was told that you could use marine's putty which I purchased from Home Depot, however, this only worked temporarily last season. I continued to have the leak and continued to get air which made it impossible to clean my pool. I replaced the filter this season and hopefully it doesn't happen again. Good luck.

If your in-ground pool has a leak somewhere and muddy ground water has come in and the leak is fixed do you need to shock it to get it to clear up again while the filter is running?
If you use a test kit and your chlorine level is high I would say no, let the filter run and while the filter is running vacuum the bottom of the pool to remove some of the mud off the bottom of the pool floor and check the filter for high pressue, so the filter can do its job and get the pool clean. You want to keep your chlorine level above normal during the cleaning level so when the pool is clean your are ready to use it, also I do not know how brown or muddy the water is.

How do you stop an oil leak at the filter on a 1970 318?
Remove the old oil filter, check to make sure the old filter gasket came off and is not sticking on the mounting surface. Wipe the mounting surface clean with a clean cloth and inspect it for cracks or scratches. Apply a thin coat of oil to the new filter gasket. Install the new filter and tighten it 3/4 turn after it makes contact with the mounting surface, no more & no less. If you then have a leak and the mounting surface has no scratch in it then the leak is above the filter and running down making it appear that the filter is leaking when in fact it may very well be a valve cover that is leaking.

Purchase the correct size filter and make sure is is a premium filter such as AC/Delco, Purolator, Wix, or Bosch. Remove the old filter and throw it away.

Turn the new filter 3/4 turn after making contact with the mounting surface. No more than 3/4 turn or it can leak. You will not have a leak if you do this.
