I'm thinking that the oil filter is draining out over the 3 days.
A $40.00 check valve might be the answer.
Going to leave the top line without a check valve.
If this doesnt work, I ordered 2 -12an threaded caps and will try just 1 line to see if the problem goes away.


Most all oil filters have a anti drain back valve.. so does Wix

so my question is, if theres oil in the filter, why wont it prime? I guess the oil out of the pump must be draining back over time.
