well oil was changed at dealership and was slowly leaking ti yesterday morning at 6am went to go fishing and smelled oil burning and being a new truck with 15k miles that is not normal. Got underneath to see oil seeping out of filter. Also when I got a new one for it the old one was loose by hand.

Is it possible that some sort of road debris caused that? I could see something hitting it, which could also cause it to loosen up a little.
These filters are so large and easily accessible that a tool isn't even necessary to fully tighten them. I really hope that a dealership isn't using someone capable of doing this to a new filter, and then would walk away from it.
