Where's my oil filter?!

I've got oil dripping from the bracket that holds the power steering pump. Figured it could be the oil filter leaking but I can't find it. Where's it hiding on an Abarth?

Re: Where's my oil filter?!

OK I found it. Geeze that looks a pig to get to! Wedged between the alternator and the power steering pump and the exhaust manifold.....

As it's just come back from service I'm going to assume it's not a leak, but old oil that's run from the filter when it was replaced. I've cleaned up the undertray and will check it over the next few days....

As a matter of interest, has anyone fitted a remote kit for the oil filter?

Good luck. Try to find the picture of Alex when he bruced his head in the search of the same thing. The filter is well hidden, and not to easy to replace.

So I've heard. Might not be true.
