so today was a day for an oil change..and it ended real shitty

my garage has oil drips on it...my car has been leaking oil but i figured it was just my transmission...its going to be replaced soon anyway...but i was wrong


so i go get my mobil 5000clean mile oil...10w30..and an STP filter...the filter is the right one i looked it up in the book

now i have done oil changes on my car before..so this isnt a first for me

i change my oil and filter....and start the car..and oil spews out all from around the oil filter area


i thought it was a bad filter..so i drain oil, i put the old one on, refill and start up again. same problem oil is spewing out

at this point im worried. so i drain again, put another new filter on...refill and start it up...same problem

no my car has been leaking some oil from somewhere for a while...its towards the oil filter..the oil is on the transmission and on the engine mounts and if u shine light u can see some oil


i know this is kinda confusing...im confused myself and im freaking out..anyone know what could cause this?

check the oil pressure sending unit or the engine oil seal(s) (if one seal in particular)

could it also be a seal from an old filter stuck on the car and the new filter has another seal..so 2 rubber seals..would that cause a leak as well?

the oil filter has a gasket around it and maybe there is one stuck to your motor from the last filter. It happened to me a few months ago. i problee did four oil changes in one day then i figured it out because my first oil filter was missing a gasket which was stuck to the motor

yea i understand what you guys are saying..but here is what confuses me

i took my old filter that i had on before..it was a FRAM..and i put that back onto the car

now since its an old filter, that means there is no rubber seal on it since its stuck to the motor..right?

i put the old filter on, fired her up, and same thing happened, it started to spew out...is it because the seal is now all screwed up or something? i really hope its just a stupid seal problem cuz i have no money for fixing this **** lol.
