Not at all, maybe someone willing to screw with it and get it to stop leaking like I did on mine. Jagg was insistent there was nothing wrong with mine and I needed to tighten it down tighter. Eventually I got it to stop leaking but not by tightening it down tighter and wont bore you with the details. I am advocating he sell it to someone who knows the original owner was having a seepage or leak problem and is willing to work with it for a discounted price.

The problem is fixed. It was the oil filter adapter and it was a 7/16th as Guntoter had posted. So heads up on any future oil changes. I will be checking that adapter everytime the filter is off. Thanks for all the replies.
