Oil Leak
I noticed oil leaking pretty badly from the top of the oil filter. I needed an oil change any way so I changed it. In the process, I made sure that there wasn't an old o-ring from a previous filter stuck there. There wasn't. So any way, I finished the oil change, fired it up and let it run for a few mins, and killed it. I looked down there again and there is still oil leaking. Bare in mind, I did snug up the filter but, I didn't crank it on there. Any idea what may be causing this? Last filter was a Fram. New one is a Wix.

You're welcome and thank you! haha
What brand of oil are you running? Are you having to put quite a bit of oil in between changes? I put the Shell Rotella in when I changed mine and noticed its leaking quite a bit of it. Its getting close to time to change it again for me so I thought I'd try the Chevron Delo to see if the truck likes it better.
I read recently that Brand A might leak out more than Brand B or Brand C and you just need to try different brands to see what your truck likes best.

Something that should be a different post, maybe, but when I change the valve cover gaskets, would it hurt to put a little neverseize on them to help keep them from being cooked on or is that a bad idea? Just wondering because in pipefitting, I know a lot of fitters that put it on flange gaskets for that reason. I know that a motor it totally different from that though.
