So my oil filter always has some oil mess around it and above it. Not dropping much, just seaping. I’ve changed it a few times, never double gasketed, and always noticed that the filter swivels a bunch if I push it this way or that. It’s tough to see that part of the engine so I’m unsure what to check for, like if there is a bolt or two to tighten that holds the mount to the engine.
There should be no free play there, correct? Something is not good?
