Assuming you had an oil change, sometimes the old gasket can get stuck to the filter mount and the new filter installed on top.

I just changed the oil in my truck a couple days ago and used a motorcraft filter, after removing the old filter the gasket stuck to the filter housing .. it would be easily overlooked and something worth checking

Reminds me of when my father left the O ring from the previous filter stuck on the truck and screwed a new filter on. As my parents were driving to church he noticed the trail of oil in the rear view mirror so he stopped in time, called a wrecker and had it towed home, The wreck let him ride with him, but my mother got a ride in a sheriffs car that had stopped to help. They grabbed their other vehicle and and went on to church, when someone made a comment about them being late, My dad replied he had to wait and let my mother out of the back of the sheriffs car.

Here's mine from the first oil change. It was leaking on the ground. I blamed it on the dealer not tightening...but upon me checking it, it was pretty tight. I cleaned the filter up and snugged a hair more...hasn't leaked since.

Going to dealer today, I want them to see it so if it is just tighten it a bit more they know, and I want them to clean the truck up, I have oil all over the bottom and the front wheel wells.
