Oil Filter question
I have an 2003 f150 4.6 4x4, have a slight oil leak around filter somewhere changed oil and filter thinking it was the filter but still leaking it appears to be just above where oil filter attaches, is there a gasket somewhere in there that may need to be replaced like where the filter attaches to engine?
Thanks for any advice

My experience with older Fords...the oil filter mount should screw off and there is a gasket behind that (I think they did it on purpose assuming people would screw the filter on too tight and strip the threads). Not sure if it's the same on the newer ones though.
