My 03 taurus sems to leak around the oil filter. The filter seems to back off after several drive cycles. The worst leak occurs on a cold start up while backing out of driveway. The oil will sometimes come out in spurts. I just changed the oil and I tightend filter with a oil filter wrench. I still have some drops oil on the drivway but not much oil residue on the bottom of the engine. I can also can pickup oil on my finger when rubbing my finger around oil filter sill. Do you hav any ideas? thanks.

remove the filter immediately and check and see if you left the old o ring from the old filter on the housing. if not, replace the filter with new one before you have a catastrophic failure. Roy
