why is my car leaking oil from the oil filter?

What is your question?

i just got the car and noticed it was slowly seeping oil from the filter just around the top where you unscrew the cover to get to the filter. then i had checked my oil, i was in need for oil so i put two quarts in it. i also changed the oil filter cuz it waqs old and ugly. now its leaking out more than it was.

There is a large o-ring that goes on the cap for the oil filter housing. Usually a replacement filter also comes with this o-ring. If it wasn't replaced, or wasn't seated properly, or if the cap simply wasn't tightened enough, it will leak.
