    Have remote coolant filter a small on about a cup size.
    No matter how many times I change it and or tighten it up accordingly it leaks .
    I haven't opened it up to see if it's getting clogged yet.
    Am going to do that just asking about it before I get started.
    Thanks

    Make sure that the gasket/o-ring/seal is not stuck on the filter housing. I have seen this happen with oil filters, then there is a leak when the filter with another seal is installed. Make sure the seal is on the filter. If it still leaks I would check the seal surface closely. Make sure you have the correct filter.

    Aluminum housing is likely corroded on the seal surface. Replace the filter housing with new.
