My cheap Manual is not showing me anything.
 
My Rx has developed an oil leak at filter body see the two little O rings in the book but not sure how to replace them. I remember replacing them on my 83 Rx, it had oil cooler right there under filter it was pretty straight forward. Looking at diagram can't figure out how it comes apart. Someone help me out here.

Where are you talking about at the pedestal right under the oil filter? or under that?

there are two, i believe 10mm nuts that hold the oil filter pedestal onto the rear iron. They are located on the underside. As you stated, there are two equal size o-rings underneath. Directly below that is the oil pressure sender which also could be the source of your leak if the pedestal o-ring replacement does not fix the issue.

Thought it would be simple the book I have does not even discuss this issue witch is a little odd. Know this is the problem, last oil change I always double check filter make sure no leaks noticed oil seeping between pedestal / iron. The only thing that going to suck about this fix is the limited room around it. Thanks for you help!
