Oil Filter ? while i have a little oil leak...
Does this filter come with a gasket or something i just took out the old cartridge style filter and put in the new and tighening it up pretty good (this is like my 5th oil change i did), and now i see oil around the cap and leaked down alot of oil so far, unless something else is wrong, did i do something wrong here, dont know where this oil is coming from and why cause i didnt not spill any oil...

if it didn't drip off the filter, and it's threaded properly, i would wipe off ALL the oil, turn the car on, let it run for a minute with the hood open, and see if it leaks... have you tried cleaning it off and seeing if it still leaks? just trying to cover the bases before you take it to the dealer...
