It is more likely a leak from the filter pedestal, which has 2 o-rings sealing it against the rear iron. There are two 10mm nuts holding it on from the bottom.

If you find out that is the problem,just go to a Parts store and get the Same sized O Rings
another thing that should be done is to Put a dab of ooiil on the Filter's rubber seal.This seals the Oil filter rather effectively.You do not have to Tighten the Filter Excessively..just a 1/4 after Hand tight.

ok so i changed the two o-rings. that was fun. but i think that might have done it going to clean out my engine bay so only time will tell. thank you all

Yeah, those little 10mm nuts are not the easiest to take on/off with the engine in the car. Hopefully that was it.

Mine are also leaking and I have been putting off fixing it because I heard it is quite a pain. Does anybody have some pictures or tips and tricks for this?

i just did it i used a 10mm wrench on the rear bolt(a short wrench would help) and a socket on the front bolt. its hard to see but bolts are under the oil filter. it took about 15 minutes and a bit of a pain getting tools in there. good luck
i am all good no more leaky oil filter.SWEET!!!
