heyy guys, my situation isnt dire its annoying. my car leaks oil from the filter. drips down the block onto the exhaust and smells awful. this is the 2nd filter in 2 oil changes that has done this. ive checked the area where it goes and havent found anything that shouldnt be there. no old seals or gaskets from other filters or anything. any ideas on the matter would be appreciated. thanks.

its 5 speed and i dont believe there is an oil cooler. it appears to come from the bottom of the filter where it attaches. at least thats where the oil is if i reach in to touch.
