Moved to its own thread.

wipe down the area real good. Then check for any leakage. If you don't see anything, use a clean paper towel and dab around that area. Check for any oil on the paper towel. If need be, drive around a bit. Be sure to check above that area as well as the oil could be running down from above.

I chased an oil leak on a Ford Bronco I had after an oil and filter change. I finally discovered, after removing the filter; that the rubber gasket from the old filter was stuck to the oil filter seat on the engine. I couldn't get a good enough seal and torque with the two gaskets. I removed the old one and leak went away!
