I was underneath my car the other night and I noticed that I have a leak that appears to be coming from my oil filter...
 Sorry for the bad photoquality but you can kind of see the stream its leaving from the leak. Any suggestions on what could have caused it to leak? I tried hand tightening it a little but I don't think that helped. I'll be taking my car back into the shop tomorrow morning once again to get it looked at  |

Well that solves it. Turns out the oil filter wasn't seated correctly when it was first installed and it ended up warping so to speak the gasket/seal, so they swapped it. No more leak. Appreciate the help guys
