i saw you pulling into St Clair this morning....car looks good but you need to paint that kit

and more importantly.....

f*** fram!!! OEM filter FTW!!!

i had the same thing happen to me, scared the s*** outta me too...i had my car towed back the shop that did it (Canadian Tire in Aburg, i also work there) because i didnt know how bad the leak was. i had driven from amherstburg to windsor and my mom called me sayin there was oil in the driveway.  checked under the hood and found the same thing as you.  needless to say, i had no problem getting money for the tow and a fresh oil change.  couldnt say whether the filter was overtightened or if it was a manufacture defect. they said the filter came off fairly easy so im leaning towards defect.

it wasnt the seal that leaked, if you still have the filter, check where the canister meets the mounting plate and you will probly find a hole/defect that caused the problem
